I port matched my stock intakes awhile back, but when I put them on the final time after the filing and sanding, an idea came to mind to drill and taper ream two spots in each intake so I could pull them off and replace them exactly where they go without a fuss. There is very little material on the flanges and even with the smallest taper pins I can buy, feasibility looked iffy. As I do not have a set of aftermarket ones as you do Ken, is there more meat on the head side flanges of the intakes you have over the stock examples? Just in case your not quite following what I'm talking about, precision bolted together machine assemblies are often completely built as a whole unit on the factory floor. After all is together and the units are aligned for the final torque up, where the units/components go together, undersize holes are drilled through both, then using a tapered reamer of a specific number size is run through the pilot hole and a matching tapered dowel pin is pounded into place. Now the machine is disassembled, shipped to the buyer and as it is buyer re assembled, the dowel pins are re installed and the factory determined alignments are easily re achieved...K? Come to think of it, roll pins might work almost as good, and they come smaller. But I would still like a little more metal, so I can stay clear of the o ring grooves.
