Redneck engineering.

As of now, the plan is to make my own turbo manifold flange. Im using 3/8" steel.

Normally you would use the exhaust manifold gasket as a template for the flange. Since the gaskets for this head are not one piece, I had to come up with something else.

After a lot of daydreaming about other stuff, I figured out a solution. Take some painters tape, apply to ports, rub tape with greasy gloves. This left a perfect stamp of the ports on the tape. Then remove the tape and apply to steel. Cut away.


Picked up a 1" hole saw to start the ports.
Its times like this I wish I had a bandsaw.
