My messup and not thinking may help somebody down the road.I am building a 383 engine for my 69,i bought a 144 weiand blower for it ,i also bought edelbrock victor heads 210 intake runners,My problem is the the intake ports dont even line up,the ports on the heads are alot taller then the intake ports ,which i knew about,but didnot expect to run into this problem,if i lay the manifold down over the heads,on top of the block,about 1/32 of the heads ports are sticking out over the top of the manifold intake runner flange.so now i have to have a machine shop weld up all the intake flanges about 3/16 of an inch,this really sucks.The guy at the machine shop said they have ran into several situations like this with head and intakes not matching up to well.Oh well thats my little rant,im on hold until the machine shop gets my intake welded up.:cussing: Bill
