Well I am done for the night. Kids went to bed so I can't make anymore noise. I am at the 'rough' stage right now. I have passed the metal grinding bits down each runner and have removed all the flashing from the top and bottom. Tomorrow I will wash it off and 'feel' for any high spots or roughness. After taking care of that then I will start with the grinding wheels and start shaping and smoothing. Hopefully by tomorrow night I will have a fairly polished lower intake. Then I will work on the lid.

Here is how it sits in rough form:



Picture of one of the runners. Notice I still need to find a way to get a little lower in the runner? I have the Dremmel Flex Shaft, but it is still a little short. I may try and hand smooth out that area. I don't think I will we doing any enlarging of that area.





Here is that dang mystery oval port. I cleaned up some flashing, but kind of at a loss for any further enlarging of the opening. All the round horns actually look really good so I just cleaned them up a bit.



I think I am going to get a new PCV valve to. My intake looks a lot oilier then all the other ones I have seen Maybe because it isn't a daily driver
