Congrats, hope your install goes well and that this thread can be of some help. Don't bother with Hamilton Intakes, they blew me off for months and set my project behind for a long time. Flakey bunch. The only reason I made the ring was because it was a homemade machining deal, ensured I could have the parts made inexpensively out of 2 pieces that I could finish fit at home (ie the spray-paint hole location technique) vice starting with 1 large aluminum billet chunk that had to have the mounting holes dead on from the git go). Skip that approach and use the Vintage Metalworks adapter listed above, it's the way to go now - just wasn't available (or I couldn't find it anyway) when I was doing my build.
