    Thank you. I'll draw up a sketch of what i have in mind and make a new post.

    That's amazing Kelly, but what is even more amazing is looking back to February.and your first inquiry and how quickly you have mastered lost foam and increased the complexity of your castings.

    I haven't forgotten your offer on a crankshaft pattern, just haven't gotten anything drawn up.

    Wow Kelly, I was looking at the foam patterns thinking those are works of art, then to see the castings, just amazing. Really makes me want to start trying the LF for some of my projects.
    From the looks of it I'm guessing this is a 351 Cleveland? I've been throwing around a few ideas on a new manifold for my brother-in-laws 408 (stroked 351W) '93 Lightening that he is putting a Vortech on. This may be a good excuse to use the LF on. Hmm wheels a turning now.
    Keep up the great work, it always amazes me.

    Thanks Cojo98v6. If you can master machining and working the foam that's a good chunk of the battle. If you haven't already, check out my machining XPS thread in this section. Larger more fragile patterns may also need some additional support in the sand to keep their shape prior to casting but sure is a great process for one-offs and small volume runs and design freedom it allows on parts that would have complex cores and parting lines is a big plus. This is discussed more in the Pros and Cons thread.

    Yep, 351c EFI intake lower. In addition to 351c it's available in several versions for each 8.2" and 9.5" deck small block Fords.

    Best,
    Kelly
