yeah dude cant get the angle down the manifolds to get the pic to show the match-porting.... since its a CB set up im assuming/hoping its gonna be pretty good.... gotta be better then stock right?? hahahha😂😂😂

really?!! thats dodgy.... these actually fit really well, the manifolds slip nice and tight over the studs, to the point you have to wiggle them to get them back off....

the manifold was very loose on the studs.
You can either dowel the manifolds to the heads with roll pins,
or sleeve the studs.
The loose fit makes the match port a waste of time,
and can let manifolds loosen up all the time whilst driving around.
hmmm... see how it goes, but i decided to get a little creative today with the bug, had a stinger for some time now but didnt really have a way to mount it as i have sidewinder extractors, came up with this.... 😂🤪😂 sounds soooo awesome and i still dont know what to think about the look other than "its different" 😂 hahaha second pic looks like its smoking a cigarette
actually i do have a vid!!! couldnt help myself and took it for a quick blat down the steet... tried uploading it to youtube last night, but its too big, it said it would take 3hrs and 45min to upload...... any ideas on how to compress it so i can upload it?

in mikes words "it will be finished when its finished" 😂😂 basically its the age old time and money issue..... hopefully over the next few weeks we will be able to hook into it a little more and get some good progress on it... as for the specs, he is still wanting to keep alot of it under his hat.... but i can tell you it a 65 bug, molly cage, N/A 2442cc with 51 ida's

The attached pics are why I asked about the match porting. Mine are 3.5mm out using a 0.5mm card template. It can be fixed but when paying $360 + postage for a pair of match ported inlet manifolds that aren't very well match ported you'd be pissed off too...
ahhhh i see what u mean now, ill have a look tonight maybe..... these came with the heads as a complete package so im hoping it will be right, if not then i figure i might get the heads ported even more 😂😂
