Yes I did Kim. I put the manifold on the vertical mill in my head/intake manifold fixture. Using a dial indicator I adjusted my crude fixture until I had the cut angle I wanted and then milled away.

Jim, do you like to get the manifold flanges flat with the head surfaces (equal gap top to bottom)? I read some advice that said it was preferable to have just a slight bit more gap at the top (that place's name starts with an 'H' and rhymes with blues:rolleyes:...)
