- Port Matching the Intake to the Heads...#20 Chevy 454 Big Block Performance Build.....
Our next step in this project is to match the port on the intake to the heads...It's a detailed job, so we're going to break it into three parts. This first part focuses on the steps to make sure the ports match and then Parts #2 & #3 will be the actual porting. Watch and enjoy as we go thru the process...And again, thanks so much for watching, liking and subscribing... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Incredibly helpful..!!
Thank you..!!
Glad it was helpful...
Man, thats going to be a hell of an engine. You are really paying attention to detail on this. Great video as always.
Thanks HBRID MUSCLE GARAGE... I appreciate all your positive comments...
Brings back many memories 👍
Awesome idea using the washers to mimic the gasket!
Thanks... A friend that ports for a living showed this technique to me...
I have done this. Before and it works! Because you dont know if one head
Pin location is off or one side of the intake is a little off!
That's how my old timer Ronnie Barnes from Victory Team used to do. Excellent video! I was specifically searching for your method and finally found it. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks Adbul Hassan.... This method was shown to me by a freind that I consider a professional intake and head
Porter.... Glad it helped...
Your method is very clever... I guess instead of the washer for the radius, you could have used the gasket, if the washer did not have a close enough radius, but looks like it worked out for you...
Thanks for the nice comment...
I use a different way to lineup everything.After installing the heads the gaskets and the intake for mockup,I drill a small hole in the intakeflanges,thru the gasket and into the heads.Therefore I'm able to lineup the gaskets exactly to the ports in the way they sit when its all together.Then you can use a small dowelpin to lineup the parts when you install them completely
Thanks for sharing....

You're currently building the exact engine that I plan for my 67 Impala 4 dr hardtop.
A 454 build mostly for useable torque.Can't wait to see the numbers after all.
Sounds like a good car for nicely built 454 to power it around...
Yes, much easier that way. But lots of great techniques here and I guess there might be some applications where you didn't want to drill 4 alignment holes.
Building a gen 6 myself and I really appreciate the videos. They help a lot. Thanks!
Hi mongofast, thanks for the nice comment...
Thank you, very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Now that's called Engineering! I had to leave this second comment cuz I'm thrilled with your video. Subscribed..
Thanks Aldul Hassan for the nice comment and the Sub...👍
I think my oval port Edelbrock air gap matches nicely on my peanut port heads🤣
I'm in the process of building a sbc 383 and I'm going to do all the detail work on it the same way you are. You are definitely food at the way you do things
Thanks Jason... Man that's going to be a very nice motor your building...👍
What camshaft did you use on this build I have a 427 that is 60 over with the same heads I used a Howard's hydraulic roller 235x241@50 and 618 lift ground on a 108 lsa with a 950 carb it made 662 hp @6000 rpm
Hi richard... Dont have the camcard handy, but its a solid street roller Comp cam with around 242 intake 248 exhaust @50 and around 650 lift at a 110 lsa....
Your engine made very good power... Wow
Bolt the gasket up, scribe it, port it, bob your uncle.
Yup that all you have to do was bolt the gasket to the intake,and scribe it with a Sharpie
Wow I thought you did a real well explained and planned port matching, great job.. For sure the water jackets could be closure than you think in that aftermarket intake walls, less is best when porting.
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting way to go about that. How far will you run the port matching up inside the runner of the intake?
Hi Philip, Not planning to port the whole intake, so probably 1 1/2 - 2 inches may be all I do on this one...
Nice set up all the way around. . !! 👏👍 I hve 2 rookie questions trynna complete my first port job.. ¹) I though you wanted a venturi affect so air/fuel mix. Rushes into the larger port ..like convergence to divergence to speed up flow ??²) does it matter how smooth or mirror like you leave the ports or do you want some roughness to help that air/fuel mix. To flow. Or grab onto & not just puddle up?? Any thoughts of wisdom would be music to my ears . Thx bud!!
I'm building a very similar engine with AFR265s --what intake is that ---is it a Edelbrock RPM? Are you happy with it?
Yes.... Edelbrock RPM air gap... I have not run it, but have read good things about it...
That is the only way to do it right, because very seldom does everything line up right ,, we have. Found heads that the chambers are off end to end, blocks that have shifted in the core etc. Accumulated tolerances from side to side, it is foolish to assume every thing is right, you have to make it right !
Thanks for the nice comment...
How do you get the red off?
Lacquer thinner
Couldn't you just match it from the gasket ?
Anyway big fan and I like your build
Hi slaman nas...Sure can... Used that method many a time myself...And thanks for your nice comments ...👍
@@Myersmetalworks Thanks for the reply your biggest fan from Saudi Arabia
Wow Thanks! This is a great part of TH-cam -- Getting to meet people from all over the world!!
