Lol...
I believe someone you know, if only from the forum, sent the same Weiand intake that the 3 of us have the same model of to CudaChick aka the mistress of metal for powder coating. Do you have his forum name or any links to his progress?
I'm still waiting for my Bill Mitchell Products aluminum RB block. I haven't even swapped the Weiand onto my current 440.
While your Barracuda project is awesome, truly awesome, I am mostly interested in the performance of the F&B setup on the Weiand intake and the RB engine.
