Hey,

Anybody out there who did the LT1 intake swap find anything better than JB weld? I was going to tig mine... But as far as epoxys go, is there one that can REALLY take being threaded and torqued to 40lbs ?

Thanks

 

Get out the tungsten, dude...

(If you couldn't tell, I have little faith in the metal-bearing epoxies.)

 

can do

Its the price of remilling the deck surface I dont like

a milling machine is something I dont have availiable

 

Are you talking about filling in the un-necessary bolt holes, or the old intake/head holes? I'm going to fill in mine with epoxy and paint over it...but the bolt holes, I'm going to bottom a bolt in, cut off and sand flush, and then paint over. Just my $.02

I'm not caring too much since I'll probably end up putting on the Vette fuel rail covers anyway...

 

Actually your not threading and torquing any epoxy. The intake holes are thru holes. You're screwing into the head just like normal.

 

No, I meant the bolt holes for the old LT1 hardware that's no longer there. I realize the bolt holes for the intake are just that, holes...
