I want one that says "soon to be two four cylinders" or "2 years to build and 10 passes to rebuild"....lol. They look great.
I found one on ebay at 7-93 FORD MUSTANG EFI INTAKE MANIFOLD PLATE / PLAQUE POW...That looks awesome. If you made one with LX font where the 5.0 is, I would buy two, lol. I think you are onto something. Make a couple of styles and they'll sell.
I was pretty sure the lightning used a GT40 intake... on a 351.
We are actually going to make molds and fabricate them out of cast aluminum. A lot less material waste and machining time.
so how do you get a sharp inside corner on a mill? also how would you water jet that part? wouldnt that end up with the plate being cut through?You guys are too wrapped up in these corners. Getting sharp corners on a mill isn't hard at all. Especially when it comes to CNC equipment. Not to mention, why would you mill that? Water jet would cut it exactly how you want it in a matter of minutes.
Yea it did, but it was of the tubular variety. The only GT40 style intake to use the 5.0L car-style plaque was the Explorer.

so you'd water jet that over using a sheer and i still dont see how you'd get the sharp inside corners.You water jet the initial cutout(plate itself) then put it on a mill and do all of your design work. CNC mills can work wonders haha
any thing done in a CNC will do that... say you take a end mill with a cutter head dia of .0625. and you have a tool path that moves 1 inch in the X direction then stops and moves 1 inch in the Y direction. so from 0,0 to 1,0 to 1,1 while it may command a straight path you will still have a corner radii of .03125. an outside corner on the other hand can be done sharp.
Even that looks to leave a small corner radius...

How it looks like you have it modeled it can't be done per the model.You guys are killing me...
I could care less how it gets done.... just as long as it gets done.

Also I've been doing design work for about 13 years now so little things you can change can make a machinest job easier.
