I had researched this recently for my induction airbox (looks like a
manifold).  The high temp epoxy laminating resin that looked like the best
bet to me is TC-1607 A/B, from BJB Enterprises.  It is good to 350 F.  I've
got the spec sheet on it - looks good.  BJB is in Orange county, CA (I think
Irvine); phone # 714- 734-8450.  As I recall, a one gallon kit is the
smallest quantity, and was somewhere around $100.  Give 'em call; they'll be
happy to fax or mail a spec sheet.

Since mine just connects to the throttle body, I proceeded to make it with
the EZ-poxy that I have, which I will post cure and it should be good to 150
F.
