After I had clearance for the bolts and boots and got the plate sitting flush with the head, I needed to transfer the bolt holes from the head to the flange. So I ground a header bolt to a point and used studs in the outermost bolt holes. That way I ...

Fel-Pro 1415 exhaust gasket on top of the stock. I'll be cutting the ports to match the gasket but drilling the wider World Products 3" bolt pattern. This gasket is recommended by World Products for the 2" bolt pattern and it matches the ports well. ...

Taped the gasket back down to the port outlines and punched the corners. That's a piece of 1/2" tube with a transfer punch in the center. This accurately locates the center of the 1/2" drill that forms the corner of the port.

I drilled a 1/8" pilot hole first with a step bit. Then finished it with a 1/8" twist bit. Next I ran a 3/8" bit down the pilot hole and used a second step bit to expand the 3/8" hole to 1/2". In this picture you can see that some of the holes are fi...

After all the holes were drilled I scored the lines with a cut-off wheel on my angle grinder. Then I finished the scored areas with a body saw. Yes, it took awhile.

Once all the holes were roughed out I ground the sides smooth, straight, and square with a tungsten carbide burr in my die grinder. I use a short burr to get the ports close and a 6" long burr to finish them. The extra length lets me see what I'm doi...

Gasket on top, finished ports in the middle. The cardboard on the bottom has the port layout from my head on it. I held it to the head with one bolt and tapped it with a hammer to transfer the port and bolt pattern.

I used the cardboard to mark and drill the outermost bolt holes. Then I made relief cuts along the bottom to clear the head bolts and spark plugs. Straight cuts got most of it but I cut wider angled slots to get at least 1/8" around the ends of the s...
