And because I’m a focused individual... squirrel!....

where was I? Oh yeah, port matching the throttle body to the intake!

A sharp blade to trace the wider opening on the throttle body

This is a significant amount of extra air!!

Then overlay the gasket on the intake manifold for tracing

All that’s left is the grinding...!

You are gonna use the hood hinge torsion bars also? Will they clear the gas struts?

No. The torsion bars will not be re-used. I will keep the mounts on the hinges for them just in case, but I don’t plan on using them. Just didn’t feel right cutting them off.

Well to be clear... It's a significant amount of extra area.  It'll only be a significant amount of extra air if the rest of the system will pull it.   :ph34r:

True. However with a larger displacement of 3100cc, and better exhaust flow through 2.5” headers and tailpipe, I expect that the engine should use most of this new ‘area’ effectively!
