Milling (porting) intake manifold ports with a wood router

After using the wood router to mill the center divider in my dual plane intake manifold I decided to try and use it to open the ports up a bit more. I switched to Edelbrock intake manifold gaskets and the gaskets were larger than my previous ones. I had a slight port match before now I'm enlarging them even more.

I was really surprised how much control I had using the router to rough it in and then use my electric grinder and a bit to do finish work.

In the future I'll be posting on Instagram: Shop_Dog_Fabrication

I hope you enjoy the video.
