Powercoated upper and lower intake manifolds

[Redog]

Both done in "Black Wrinkle" and the letters are in "Mirror Red"

The black will match the valve cover I put on last year and the red matches the intake tubing.

Question::

The upper intake ports are a bit smaller than the lower ports, should I get a dremel and make the upper match? I know it's good for the heads to intake, but intake to intake?

Roughly the ports on the lower are 2 and 1/16 inches and the uppers are just shy of 2 inches, but they aren't all the same size. The smallest is just under 2 and the biggest is exactly 2. Now I know using a regular ruler isn't exact enough. If I did this, I'd use one of those bolt measuring thingys.

Anyway:::

Looks really nice, Ken.
Might want to ask Ben @ wot-tech about matching the port size from the plenum to the LIM.

Have this extra 3400 lying around and got the lower for a great price which I needed.

Gotta try to save some cash because of the baby, plus I like the look of the 3400 upper better ;)

No, this isn't paint, it's power coating.

It's baked onto the part. Really easy to clean, doesn't fade, stands up to heat, keeps things looking new.

I could do it myself, but I need a non-food prep oven. You cannot cook food in the oven after doing this ;)
