  Id be curious about the weight if welded up from mild steel tubing. Did
he mention that? It looks good but unclear from this picture how the
throttle body mounts. Is there a picture from the other side that you could

2 inch steel tube .035 wall weighs about .066 pound per inch. (.3 pounds per cubic
inch.) With four 24 inch runners that would be about 48 inches or about 
3.1 pounds.

Here is another picture of the throttle body. BTW the same fabricator that
made the intake manifold also made the GM based planetary PSRU shown in the
picture. Hopefully Bill will read his email soon and we will have the
guys name and address. :-)

Bill had a Subaru engine in his RV6 but is now swapping it out for the 13B.
Bill said it did not have enough power as I recall
