I've got this way cool-guy Brodix HV-1801 intake that's already converted to EFI, it's got the 4500 series flange on it, it's perfect. (This intake has 10* flanges)

My engine has 18* heads (That work with intakes that have 5* flanges)

My question is; can I have the intake machined and redrilled to work on my 18* heads? I have Zero experience in this area, so any insight would be welcome!

Here is a PIC of the gap.

Brodix HV-1801 specs

Trick Flow 18* head specs

750HP naturally aspirated smallblock (I know the oil pan won't fit )

If it won't fit, that's just how it usually goes for me, I'll have to buy another intake and get it converted.

Thanks!

 

Yes, they make adapters that you can use so that you can use a 23* intake on 18* heads

not sure where they sell them though

and i know who you got that from :-p

 

Brady give JOMAR PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS a call and tell them what your doing. The can make what you need...1-248-322-3080

 

AH!

When I ordered my heads we have to choose that angle It was easy to do. I just checked my intkae with a protracter angle meter and told Brodix what angle I had. they cut the heads to match.

You should be able to get what you have there working just fine with a little maching work

Good luck man!

 

Jim! I thought you had the internet memorized?? You know who I got the motor from? Cool, tell Steve to send me my damn crank trigger!

thanks for the contact info Jeff, no answer on the phone but I've got an email in to them.

Ellis, I hope I can make it work, I bought the intake cheap, hell I bought the motor cheap.. if it wasn't for cheap, I'd have nothing at all..

thanks guys

Jeff, ps- tell Mad Louie and Chico I said "hey"..

 

LOL, memorized? Too much weed in high school hinders that!

I was talking about the intake not the motor

 

I gave ol mad louie (my jack russel) a Brady said hi belly rub and dam if'n if dat that 18 pound hound didn't run right out and tree a cat
