anyone know where i can find some info on cutting the stock upper port and polishing it and welding it back together? ive heard some good things about having it done but wanna read up on it a little
youd have to get it tig welded. best thing i can think of instead, is finding some place that can do extrude honing. its where they blast it with clay and it ports it. also that way itll still look stock
Only you can answer the question as to whether it's worth it or not because it's mainly your time involved. You can get the intake to flow well over 200cfm if you know what your doing.
heres a pic of mine that i had a local machine shop do. it flows 258cfm and the lower that i also got cut and welded and all smoothed out flows 214. its for sale if ur interested in bypassing the work and want it to see what it can do. let me no.

They (Vortex Manufacturing Company) do CNC and Hand porting of stock 5.0 intakes and custom powder coating. They are located in Northern CT they do some awsome work for reallatively affordable prices $200-$300 (port and powder coat included) if you send them your upper and lower intakes, but they have an inverntory of intakes as well if you don't want to send yours to them. They have done quite a few cut/port/weld jobs on several 86-95 mustang GT intakes over the past few years with some awsome results. Give them a shot you will not be dissapointed!
