Guys I need to borrow two stock intake manifolds. A six port version
and a four port version. I will pay shipping both ways.
I need these to get the holes in the right places.

I am going to make some light weight intake manifold flanges.
Probable about twenty six port and ten four port versions.
I will also look into getting some aluminum tube bent up
with the proper leg length, radius and diameter.
You can then cut and weld (or have welded) the tubing to suit.
It will be the Power Sport style wrap over manifold for side port
engines.

BTW If you put the injectors on the plug side of the
engine at the end of the tubes  you are less likely to burn the
fuel system plumbing and wiring in the event you have an engine fire
ignited by the exhaust system on the other side of the engine.

The idea is to sell a intake manifold kit at near cost.

I am tired of people wining about not being able to build 
intake manifolds :-)

Chime in if you want one so I know how many to make up.

Well good luck bending the tubes smart guy.  I might have had too many 7&7s
tonight but I will say that bending the tubes isn't as easy as it seams.
I'm still working on mine and I'm pretty handy with metallurgy being a ME
and all.  Let me know if you're able to get it right the first time. And be
honest, I'm man enough to admit that it isn't easy, you too.  Man,  I've
sucking up too many paint fumes and drinks....

Did I give the false impression that >>> I <<< was going to bend them myself? :-)
No way. I will have a big batch bent up by a professional tube bender outfit here in
LA.
I want to get them down as close as possible to the top of the rotor housings.
