Nice.

Are you going to put a coating on them?

 

[Patrick Stapler]

Last two pics have one coat of Calyx manifold dressing applied.

Awesome

First time I have used Calyx. Really nice stuff. I liked it so well, I applied a coat to my MC that was starting to show some surface rust. Looks brand new again.

Nice job Patrick! That'll free up some HP.

I was shocked at the amount of mismatch between the gasket and the manny's.

It's those little things that WHEN added up turn into a lot of HP

Thanks guys...lots of other small projects to complete prior to final engine assembly.

I will say I'm a little concerned about the front edge on #1 exhaust port.

That small amount sealing area would be the only reason I would use an exhaust manifold gasket. Normally I leave them off on all vintage Ford engines when both the manifolds and the heads are cast iron, and the manifolds have been planed perfectly flat.

No worries!
