Al,  tell me more.  For some reason, I could not get the first picture, but I
did get the one with the manifolds installed on the engine.

I need an end view sketch because my intake will have to go up at about a 25
(+ -) degree angle to clear the exhaust.  Also, mine will have a turbo.

Yours sure looks good!

That sometimes happens when I send out two jpg pictures. Check your email
program for the size of the received messages allowed. It should be set to around
300K or above. I usually don't send out jpg's that big but sometimes I send two
80K to 100K jpg's. In Netscape it is edit>preferences>mail>disk space

I don't see any problem with this manifold with a turbo, you can always jack 
up the boost,  but for normally aspirated engines it flies in the face of everything 
Mazda and Racing Beat have learned over the past 20 years :-) It escapes me why Al did 
not wrap it over the top of the engine like most people do. I would wait till Al 
gets it on a dyno and measures the HP and BSFC before building it for normally 
aspirated use. Unless of course you plan on running the engine at 8000 to 9000
RPM.
