New 408 build finally started

As I told most of you before this job with the bigger port opening was planned around one of my Indy intakes so a couple of years ago I redrilled it with an Edelbrock pattern to match these heads. My friend had offered months ago to punch the new pushrod holes on his Bridgeport but stubborn John said ohhh no I can do it. Well John was wrong again. Lol. I retubbed the hole and drove over to his house. Laying out the needed angle we soon discovered when moving the pushrod holes over we were going to hit the Edelbrock intake holes so he said order some 3/8-1 inch aluminum bolts from Fastenal in Indy, locktite them in and we would lay out the new pattern. He’s a picture of how much aluminum rod I have to grind back out.
