[DeTomaso] Intake carb base question.

[Curt Hall]

 OR...instead of cutting the Manifold maybe get a Tapered Carb Spacer to level the the Carb? I believe Moroso makes a 5 degree Angled Carb Spacer.

   I had a discussion with shop building 5177 last week.  (I've lost
  interest and relying his abilities.)  Progress is VERRY slow

  The engine builder that abandoned the project a couple years ago had
  found "the" ford aluminum intake, in his opinion, better than BT.  He
  was onboard about making carb base level and re doing studs.

  Coming to now.  The engine is supposed to be complete EXCEPT, builder
  didn't do any thing to intake.  During last week discussion with car
  shop, he stated he want to "get measurements with engine in" (makes no
  sense to me)


  So, to my questions and request for info.


  Wouldn't the machine shop instructions be mill carb base parallel with
  head flanges (then Heli coil studs to be square to machined carb base.

  Is there anything I am missing?  Would anyone know of a pantera
  shop/dealer my builder could talk to confirm the intake NEEDS to have
  the carb base level. AND can be done without taking measurements in the
  car.

  Or some good replies I could forward him
