Looking for SBC intake bolt wedge / spacer
I'm aiming to place my 1984 350 SBC intake on my 1989 350 SBC engine.
The 89 engine was fuel injected and has the 4 center intake bolts are at a different angle. I'm looking for a better option on making the 28 degree wedges needed for making the flat bolt clamping surface.
My current plan is to work over a piece of hollow round stock (3/4" od 3/8" id) on the band saw at a 28-30 deg angle and the dress it by hand with a file.
The round stock pieces i have are 2" each and will require me to tack weld them to a piece of flat stock and then to clamp the flat stock in the band saw vice.
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
