Are the bolt holes in the same spot? And they just go at a different angle? And it's really hard to drill that angle? You need something to keep your drill bit straight assume..
LOOK at the Chinese magnum intakes, because they have the bolt holes to mount on magnum or LA. That would give you the best view by looking at a picture. Magnums go straight down like a small block Ford.I'm just curious I've never had a magnum out and available to do that, set a regular la intake on it.
I got the angle, I just didn't notice if they were in the same spot. Could a jig be made by bolting something to the Magnum hold down area to be able to drill the la pattern?LOOK at the Chinese magnum intakes, because they have the bolt holes to mount on magnum or LA.

Could you introduce us to this gentleman Bridgeport?Bridgeport. Block fixture, drill stock in intake bolt.
Record angle.

I haven't seen one of those in my Harbor Freight coupon bookBridgeport (machine tool brand) - Wikipedia
It's not a him. A Bridgeport is a "she".
If its expense, can kill you or goes fast, its female....
I ran a furnace for years and got sick of 400 dollar electric bills so I switched to the infrared heaters I have three one on each end of the house and one in the middle and as long as my doors stay open it heats pretty good. My highest bill this winter was 175My furnace is electric... It sucks. The first 4 years I lived here, other than a 10 minute run to make sure my furnace worked it was never used. This last year I slacked off on firewood... Big mistake. Power bill went from around $140 a month to about $450...
Heres the HF one....

Basically the same thing, just not as precision....
Fun fact about the Bridgeport. It was for a long time, the only machine that a user could use to reproduce the same machine!
Maybe two simple jigs just as the picture shows here. 1 jig basically exactly as the picture shows with the first one bolted down by the three Magnum bolts with guides to drill the three La bolts. Then the second jig the opposite of this one in the picture?Got this of article from HughesView attachment 1715336186

I picked up some more supplies, finally got to a bigger town. I can continue portingSince when is a Walmart drill called a Bridgeport?
Todays adventures included going for groceries, somemore cleaning out behind the dart and finally after several months picking up a milodon stock pan.

Found everything in the trunk of the dart that I left in it when I parked it in the garage.

Finally got all the crap off of the trunk lid and the roof now I actually almost see a car.
