This is for the Chevy engine I'm running at the mo' , but it's on a carb. Need to change to injection before I fit the supercharger. I had to make this plenum as I don't think the factory ones would fit. This one follows the underside of the standard z bonnet exactly.

Just a few shots of various ops on the milling machine first, to hopefully show what a pain it all was. Not doing another before anyone asks!

 

Cutting faces parallel to get a nice datum and create a bit more room

 

Boring entry holes for runners

 

Fitting sideplates

 

Chobbling away sideplates to save weight

 

Fitting baseplate

 

Finished job 2 weeks later, after countless hours on the milling machine, then drilling, tapping, peen texturing, polishing and tarting up the Edelbrock inlet and runners, which were pretty shoddy out of the box.

Thats amazing!! :bow:

:bow: :bow: awesome work buddy - really wish i had the skill!

glorious buddy

Better chuck your computer away then, it's going to get a lot better before I'm done.

After seeing the first posts of your project i was blown away, and you have done it again. the quality of your project is amazing

now if only you could make something a lot better than the stock zed plenum.

Matey thats a true skill you have there. Amazinginly clever. Hats off to you!!
