Wasn’t someone looking for a W2 intake.

Would anyone in this thread happen to have a good picture of a W2 intake port that has been ported. I’m porting mine right now using the DC templates and it looks like the pushrod bulge needs to be completely removed for the template to fit correctly. But I’m not sure there’s enough meat there to do that without breaking through to the pushrod hole. Can anyone confirm this?
That would be correct. To make things more difficult, using a tube to sleeve the pushrod hole isn’t an easy thing to do since there not a nice round machined hole. But it’s possible to use a brass tube and then fill the space with an epoxy. JB weld or other.

The pushrod pinch is NOT the restriction on the head to worry about. The port will go 290/300 without removing the pushrod pinch.
