Wanted paying cash: old crusty alluminum intakes, cracked, drilled, OK,,and preferred,,, need to practice TIG. Eddie Nasser 812-299-2830 call anytime (leave message),nasser3_1@msn.com or PM anytime

Hey Eddie, I have a 33 year old Edlebrock LD340 that needs attention. The water ports are corroded to where a replacement will be needed soon. I really like the power charictaristics and want to keep running it instead of buying something new.. Can you fix it and send back? I don't want to be down too long though.

$$ R- OK

Also have an original timing cover with the same problem. Right at the top water pump outlets. That ones a spare though.

Jon, I wouldnt trust myself with your intake at all. I'm an amatuer at best. You need someone who knows how to weld alluminum and I am just beginning to learn the 'Art' of welding. Welding alluminum correctly takes a special heated fixture to pre-warm the alloy and a jig to prevent warping. And you must clean the alloy of all contaminants. Then there's the TIG process, filler rod, heat control, current control, ect..I would ruin it for sure. Thank you for your confidence, but a Pro is what you need especially with a rare intake like that? I can weld steel pretty good though!
