for you guys with Model A engines, I have seen some installations where the intake was extended about 1" so that the center two exhaust stacks do not have to jog around the intake. Since the intake is cast iron, and difficult to weld, I was wondering how this was done? Is it brazed? Also, what material was used for the extension (black iron?), and what was done (if anything) to prevent there being a "step" or other interference on the inner diameter of the intake?I have a Model B intake (slightly larger inside diameter than an A) and I have cut off the carb flange and exhaust shroud flange (which is not needed) and I want to re-attach the flange with a short extension. Just wondering how others have done it.Gene________________________________________________________________________________
