Cracked lower intake

[IneedaSY]

After chasing a bad idle and some WOT problems on my truck. I think we might have found the problem. My brother noticed the lower intake was loose and when we went to tighten it we noticed that is was cracked were the one of the bolts run through. I wanted to know if I should be able to have this wielded up anywere that does good wielding or if I should take it some place special? thanks for all the replys

Any good Alum welder should be able to weld it up for you. I have see this happen when using vortec heads.

Can be welded but will need to be machined also.

I am setup for syty intakes and converting them to vortecs so will be minimal effort for me to do if you want to ship it.

PM me for details, etc.

Well now that i got in there to take everything off it is the upper intake that is broke. One of the ears for the bolts is broke off, so I am going to need to get that fixed.

thats an easy one. any good welding shop/machinist can fix it. plus you have plenty of board members such as jeff and myself that can help you out if need be.
