Got my intake back today from the metal polishing shop. They did an amazing job, looks fantastic!
The manifold is a 1960s Weiand dual plane manifold that actually has the correct way to pronounce Weiand cast right into it: “Say Why-And”. The polishing shop saved the lettering for me.
I dropped it in place just to make sure I could handle it easily by myself leaning over the engine. First attempt was awkward so made a handle out of a piece of aluminum angle and put a guide stud in the front right bolt hole. That worked MUCH better. Tomorrow I’ll install it, bolt it down and get ‘er running!
