Paul,  what are the maximum temperatures the  intake (in the housing)
will see?   I am selecting the epoxy to bond in the P port throttle
bodies.    I did contact Racing Beat to see what they used.  It is
Devcon but which specific product I could not find out.   I bought
what
the sales person "thought" they used but it is a repair material about
as thick as peanut butter.  I want something that can be poured and is
self leveling.  If WEST can tolerate the temps,  I may go with that.
I
am open to advice from anyone.       Jerry

Epoxy works great. The temp is limited to about 200 F heat soak.
When running it is cooler. There are some high temp epoxies that work
at
300 F.

My search has led  to " Duralco 4525" an epoxy with metal filler that
is stable to 500 degrees.  Said to be ideal for high performance
bonding, potting. repairs, castings and jigs.  Will not crack with
differential expansion of the aluminum housing due to high aluminum
content.   Machinable.   I will call them this afternoon.    Jerry

Sounds like Tracy's favorite substance...  JB Weld :)
