16. Made a template off the block at the machinist's shop. You know engineers have to complicate everything. 😏

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
You only need the outer holes so they will do for both sides.

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
Got it. We checked the other side of the block and the outer holes lined up as you said, but I can almost guarantee that I would have drilled out the middle holes, so thanks for reminding me.

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
Yep. After playing around with some printer paper and a pencil, that is exactly what the machinist did, instead just with a heavier piece of cardboard and no hole punch.

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
Cool. I like to use the aluminum sheet because the holes "don't move" if you have to use it again.

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
If it were me, I'd clamp an exhaust manifold on the piece of steel I was going to use and using transfer punches mark the holes and them take them to the drill press. Why go to all the trouble of making a template, then transferring those marks to your steel? You have a couple of chances of having something move and be off.
Or if you really wanted to make it complex, create a DXF file and take that to a CNC mill or a laser cutter! |

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
He does not have a manifold, that's what started all of this.

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
Finished off the adapter. Fits great. I just had to trim the corner like in the previous pics, and cut down my 1.25" lg bolts to 3/4". Yes, I lifted with only two manifold bolts and a chain. Lol.

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
LOL. True, but that's what the machinist used. He suggested I make a plate to cover the intake with a couple lifting points which I'll do soon. First, I want to get a dial gage and fixture so I can mark TDC on my pulley, which I may need to purchase as mine is some cobbeled up affair with a third groove crudely welded on.

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
this one is a bit elaborate, but i hope to use it until my toes point up. cut out to match an intake gasket, so good for painting, lifting, or storing a flathead

Re: Looking for exhaust port layout drawing
Wow. That is brilliant. I like the idea that you matched the intake profile. I'm leaning towards painting my block a different colour than that of the heads and intake, so that would be perfect for such a scenario. The adjustable lift is just icing on the cake. Someone should be selling this concept.
