Anyone able to gasket match SR to a 1206?

I am in the process of trying to fit my new Stealth Ram intake to my Dart Pro 1 heads that are already gasket matched to a FP 1206-yeah right! When I laid the intake on the heads, I could see daylight! I have sent the intake to a master machinist to have it welded.

On a side note, I have the ASM 1300 CFM throttle body-Holley says that it won't work-however, we are going to gasket match the TB gasket to the SR plenum. The throttle blade will line up with the plenum. It will work.

 

You have daylight inside your engine?

I live in oregon where all the fires are right now and I was kinda wondering who took the sun, guess now i know where it is.


Right on

 

Ha Ha-translation-the stock SR ports fit inside the 1206's.

 

how did it work out?

 

Yeah.. HOW did it work out ???

 

1300 cfm is a bit of overkill isn't it? The stock TB is more than your
engine can handle anyway.

 

Answer is YES, but it costs more to machine it to fit than the intake itself. If I did it again, probably use a Victor Jr. or Dart intake and convert it to FI. The 235 CC heads are HUGE, and require big CI, high RPM, high lift (600+), compression/boost to make them really work. My Dart 230 CC's use a 1206. Dart 220 CNC race heads use a 1207. Not enough material on the SR really.

Here is what it takes to port the Stealth Ram to a 1206:

CNC and by hand:

1) weld 360 degrees around the port
2) weld 1/2" material to the roof of the port
3) re-machine the gasket face of the intake
4) machine the outside roof for valve cover clearance
5) dye the face and scribe to 1206
6) hand finish the ports

The other problem is that when your heads are already at a 1206, the stock intake runnner dividers do not match the heads. Those had to be re-machined to line up."

Yes, thank you for reminding me. It moves way too much air and I think I will send it back and install the stock one.

 

Man I have the 1205's on my Edelbrock Intake and I thought those were huge!!!!
