This was a project for Straub Technologies. They have a Rottler 5 axis cnc porting machine and needed a fixture plate to hold a Ford 2.3L cylinder head and intake manifold. I scanned both pieces with our Creaform Handyscan as shown here.
The scan data was used to design the fixture plate. They wanted a dual use fixture so either/both could be mounted on the same plate. The intake was a little tricky due to its odd shape. Check out the mounting to make it as rigid as possible so it wouldn’t ring like a banshee when being cut while still having clearance for the tooling.
Here is the finished product!
This was also on the wish list. Its a Holley 2 barrel carb adapter for the fuel injected 2.3L intake manifold.
