Finally got the next order of castings in on the new bridges and started machining them. Although we've been adding the center deflector for years now its cast in and no core needed.

I've also included a technical drawing that may help show why we feel this style bridge is better by far. The T style bridges just cause too much turbulence.

I did not know you had redesigned the bridge with the divider included. Very smart idea, Rick. :thumb:

Curious if you also figured something out to reduce that big "step" between the bridge and the clamshells on the heads?

I havent really kept up with anything LB7-related in a while. Anything new for that intake design?

Can you include a symbol key? I don't quite understand :)

Does this help, this is an LBZ intake, LLY and LB7 are similar.

Here's a picture of the bridge with the inlet welded on.

And coated. It's really easy to see why they flow so well in that one picture.
