NICE !!!! But why not paint the carb, it would look very nice on that shiny manifold. BTW how BAD
will Little Roo's engine be???Alex
We're not done yet, we just got the intake finished today! We'll see how this 4v carb runs before we put the time and money into making it look good too! 8) 8) 8) 
CoupeBoy,
XT Falcon,
The spead bore has be rebuilt, we don't think the square bore has been rebuilt, but we are going to try both carbs or locate another carb, 390,450 or other 4v to mount and try!
XT Falcon,
No it's not welded, the 650 spread bore fits without a spacer, the linkage barely clears the intake. The riser is for a square bore and we may try it with and without to see which is better for the street.

How did you polish the intake manifold??? Give details--it looks awesome!

A local company puts them is a machine with very small plastic balls and soap and water and tumbal them, they come out polished, sorry I don't know the name of the process, I'll call them in a few days and see what it's called? Sorry I've done three intakes this way and your the first to ask!

I believe is it called tumbling also.
Many many moons ago I used to work in Engineering and Research department of PTC Components here in Indy. We used to build FWD and 4WD transfer case chains for Turbohydramatic.
My job was to get a sample of the pins and links from each batch of heat treated components and build a chain, run it in on a run in machine and test and log how much wear had occured.
We used a tumbler to polish the pins and to remove burrs. But i have never seen a setup that was big enough to toss a intake into. It does give a nice finish. Depending on the abrasive used you can even get a mirror finish like a rock tumbler polishes gems.

Ben,
Do they put a clear coat or some type of glaze after it's gone through the tumbler?

DBzOkole,
They do have a High temp clear coat, but the cost is pertty high, I have been using automotive engine block high temp clear coat and it seams to work well?
Here's three more pictures from last night. 8)
The two inch riser won't be used in the final setup as we can't close the hood without it touching, but plenty of room for the carb and air cleaner!
And don't ask about gas mileage, we don't even care.

Mustangroo, does this head have any mods that yours doesn't, in terms of valve sizes, 3 angle, cam, etc....
hindle_az,
No Jason's Aussie 2v head is stock, stock valves and regular 3 angle valve cut. But his Isky cam does have a much greater valve lift (.440) than my stock Ford Cam (.371) using 1.6 rockers on my stock head! Just as soon as I get Jason's Mustang out of my garage I plan on pulling my Aussie 2v head and having the valves race cut (4th angle) and have the valve pocket, "pocket ported" and the exhaust ported and if I can find a extra 2v intake have it modified to accept a holley 4v or maybe TWO Holley 5200's......... I will dyno the Aussie 2v head using my Holley 500 before I put a 4v on top after I get the head work done!

And u come and tempt those of us who dont have one yet : p
That intake really loox nice, I'd do like aluminum but I'd proly want to paint it one of those anodized paints, I found u can achieve some pretty neat effects w\ them. I recently have been workin on suspension parts and I decided to try some.
I used the metalcast then sprayed the purple over that lightly and then the blue lightly, it gave a sort of purply lavendar look, well I thought it was neat. Say, do u have an another one of them Aussie heads layin around that u might give away ? lol : p Btw, I know u have one an intake already but I posted some time back, that PAW (Performance Automotive Warehouse) also has or did in 2000, an aluminum 4bbl intake for the 240-300 engines, I think it was $179 or $189. I jus need the head I guess but $$$, mine is a 65 200 engine/head, but my car is 67 which had a now junkt 68 200.

Lookin good Ben.
Looking forward to the performance reports!
I think I'll see if I can locate an outfit with a BIG tumbler around here. I think you told me that was a company that supports the oil drilling industry up your way.

Mustangaroo, if fuel milage is of no concern, I'd suggest Triple Webers would be the ticket, along with a 290 - 305 degree cam - that'd put hurt on lots of things out there 
How big is the cam that Jason is running? .440" with 1.6 rockers does sound pretty nice!

His cam is a ISKY 256, small but able to still develop power using the C4 transmission. Triple Webers would be nice, but would require another intake with major welding work which I don't have time for. We will dynojet his when it's tuned and running good, then I'll decide what way I want to go. BTW With a stock cam in my 200, I'd be very happy to see 120-130 HP to the rear wheels, which is more than stock a 302 really produced in those early models. Before all you post messages about me being wrong about the 302 Dynojet results please read below:
