Looks good :thumb: I built my own intake for my 66 and it turned out great. Had a buddy machine me a maf plate. For just under $100 I couldn't complain at all.

Inside of the pipe. I cleaned it up with my die grinder and a 40 grit flap wheel.

And also, here is the mounting tab.

So I got the first tweaks of my maf rescale. Truck runs great other than it needs just a bit more Maf tweeking cause it still has a little bit of turbo lag, in which I have let my tuner know. I really appreciate how much he has put up with me. (I make ALOT of changes!)

I can deffinately tell that this new intake flows a lot better. Top end is noticeably better and WOT haze has deffinately reduced a little. Low end turbo spool sounds AMAZING compared to the old intake. Its hard to explain but it just has the distinct compressor whistle. I love it!
