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.

Hi Paul,

I have a 87 13b which I am pretty sure is a six port. I'll be happy to help out.
I'll take a look at it tonight to be sure. If it is what you need I could cut the
flange off maybe back a couple of inches to cut down on the shipping .Let you know
more after a close inspection tonight.

Great idea. On second thought I can't help but think these parts might
be collectors items someday. Maybe not in my life time :-)

Cut away. I would appreciate receiving it. Perhaps that is not a bad
way to make a flange if you have a mill to get rid of excess material
around the port tubes to attach some long intake pipes. I think
Tracy does something like this. I wonder if its weld able material.
