CR intake plenum plate, Who do you suggest?

[Chris Mallett]

Like the title states, I am going to shave the intake and looking for a plate to show the pattern or a pattern that I can drill the head and a plate to begin construction. Any suggestions on who's plate to buy or does anyone have a pattern for this? Or is it easier than I am making it.

I'm going to do the same thing. This is the one I am looking at: http://www.hellmannperformance.com/products/hellmann-performance/hellmann-performance-billet-intake-manifold

I have bought other things from Hellmann (the most recent was a fuel sump), and everything has been of high quality. I also like the idea of the side entrance.

I will be interested in other responses.

Most side intakes that I have seen use different bolt patterns. If you buy Hellmann's, he will give you the bolt pattern/size/location that he uses, so you can shave off the intake and drill and tap for the holes you need.

Is there a danger of using your own educated places to drill and tap for fasteners? It appears that so many companies use multiple hole patterns instead of one or two predetermined patterns.

I just bought the mounting flange from ZZ Fab soI can build my own intake.

If you dont want to do that, when you buy the intake you want send it to the machine shop with the head.

I was wanting to build my own intake, this is why I was asking if there is a set pattern. Thanks for the insight so far.

Will this help or give you an idea of where to drill?

Just remember if your running dual pumps you don't want a sheet metal intake for long term use. Great on a P pump though.

I use a B&B myself but Hellman makes a nice piece also.
