Once the mating sides of the intake are cut it re aligns the bolt holes, but now you have the issue of little to now front and back wall clearance. Once again a fixture had to made to hold the intake flat to the table for the front and rear intake walls to be fixed and re machined to match the block.
I just went through this same deal on my L78 nice work on this car!
