I do. If you need a flange milled up and welded on, I can arrange that! Just need a drawing.Quote:

You're in charge of marketing. I hate dealing with people.
Hmm I like this. We could make it an A20A performance kit too for all the Carb'd guys who wanna show the EFI guys up. Buy your bolt-on bike carb kit from us! Eliminate that nasty clutter, and do it for cheaper than a 32/36 Weber. Actually, I really like it. And A B20A/EFI carb conversion kit too. With the teg distributor and a plug-n-play wiring harness. Shouldn't be that hard to do. Quick and easy power adder.
I hate dealing with people too, but I'm just good at hiding it. I guess that's what makes a good salesperson, eh? :)
sounds complicated^^^^^ lol
It would be pretty easy. For the Carb'd A20, it would be a couple plugs for the EGR and AS pipes, a custom manifold, clamps, bracket to hold the carbs to the block, a choke cable with grommet, and a set of bike carbs.
:rant: %$@$^ I sat at work all day waiting to get off so that I could get back to work on this thing. Came home, drilled a hole for the port (perfectly, I might add). Then as I started in on the second hole, the hole saw grabbed, :gun: and it just barely bent the pilot bit. :madflip: Bent it enough to make the hole saw walk all around the steel plate... :rocket: I took it back to the store and exchanged it for another one, and the second hole saw caught again and bent the #$!#$ pilot bit again. GRRR. So I didn't get shit done today and wasted a couple gallons of gas going back and forth to Home Depot. :rocket: BS!!!! It barely caught too, :burn: I was hardly using any pressure. :banghead: The pilot bit is a weak POS. Shouldn't have bent that easily. Wasted my whole evening!! :chainsaw:
Fuck!!!
Man john sorry to hear....what type of bit your using as of grade...
That sucks man, what brand of hole saw is it so i dont get one. do you have to start all over agian or is it salvagable?
Bent? Since when does an HSS drill bend, and not just simply break? If the drills are soft enough to bend like that, they're a fucking joke!Quote:

^^^ That's exactly what I thought about the bit. I couldn't believe it bent. I didn't have any rod or anything of the same diameter either. The one bit that would have fit from my drill bit set was the one my dad broke some time ago. Figures! :D
My work has a drill press. I'm going to use it tonight. I work at a TV station and we have a drill press. Pretty sweet!!! I gotta convince them to buy a mill or lathe or something. :D
It's "Rigid" brand. Not so Rigid. I think it might be Home Depot's in-house Chinese manufactured rubbish.
Gonna hit the local hardware store tonight and pick up a new hole saw bit!!! :D
allways make sure parts you pay over $2 for are not made in china :) lesson learnt
Yeah, I paid $45 for the set.
Update:
Success with the hole saw.

And port matched by hand with a die grinder. Doesn't look all that great up close, but it will still need welding and then more port matching when the welding is done to smooth it all out...

top work(Y) cant wait to see those carbs on there
looks quality man keep us posted, i want to see every step :) i always thought rigid was a good company, i have some cobalt drill bits from them and they seem to be really good.
Yeah, rigid is usually top quality tooling and machines. Must of gotten a cheap version.
:dunno: it was the only ones they had... Unless I wanted to buy them individually...
Done anything lately? You should huck on an A20A1 intake just to get it running for the time being, and we can work you out a sweet alloy intake for those quad carbs.
Since my bay is narrower than yours, I'm wondering how much I'm gonna have to bugger with the drivers side top mount to get it to sit in there. Also if I have clearance for the accessories.
Can't wait for my box of goodies!!
still havent got your motor johns slacking lol
Yeah Aaron it's costing me 400 to ship from washington to here, same as it was from NZ to Washington, how gay is that?
its because you live in canada!!!! lol
Impressive work there.. Like it!!
Cant wait to se a vid of it running :D
Thanks Tomisimo! :)
Got the runners welded onto the flange this weekend. Nothing really picture worthy yet, it still needs... um GRINDING!!! And some flowing from the A20 ports into the nice round ports that will match up to the carb.
It's really really really really really really really really hard to make perfectly round shapes with a dremel / die grinder. Only way I can figure to do it is to go rreeeeeeaaalllyyy slow at it. I've already spent a few hours just cleaning up the ports and matching them!!! Air compressor seems to want to run non-stop with this die grinder, so I have to take breaks to keep it from overheating... I can't imagine hand porting and polishing a head, especially where there is really no room for error!
I still want to try porting a head though later on. I just need a DIY flowbench to see if it does any good. I hear you can really fuck things up with a DIY P&P.
great to hear it still working
i would just port match the flange to the head and not bother anything else in case u do much it up lol
Yeah I'm not touching the B20A head... Noooo way. I'm just talking about the transition in the manifold from the oval to the round shape. It takes a lot of patience. I definitely need a pair of earbuds to put inside my ear protectors.
