Images of my adapter plate. H23 IM to modified F23 port shape. I think this will work nicely.

I need to have the block built, need a clutch, and then need to have it all put together. It seems like a neverending learning process and a ton of money wasted. :doh:

Just curious why did you go with aluminum, im looking into this project. It seems like AfAccords idea with gatorlite and DIY is cheapear snd shields the heat better? Just wondering what advantages you saw of the metal adapter plate?

The advantage of the aluminum plate is that it was CNC'd for the exact shape and it's a smooth transition. Garolite probably shields heat better but flow is more important. It wasn't cheap either, you're right about that, but I'm hoping the results will help me forget how expensive this project has been. I need to look into having someone make me a header. I was thinking I could just have someone who already makes a 4-2-1 H22 header modify their design just to fit an F23 exhaust flange. Bad idea??
