How many people are interested in this manifold as we are getting
ready for
a production run of castings?

We are.

Thanks Chrissi Two for me and one for you makes three so far.


It looks really good.
We will need more info when you match it up to the ports.
Hopefully it is smaller than the ports so it can be matched properly.
Also, because it is only part of the solution, we need details on the
rest of the components to get it over to the plenum.
We are looking at molding a plenum with appropriate bell mouths on the
intersections etc.
Also details like bosses for injectors and placement.

It is smaller than the ports. I will let you know center to center
distances on the runners as soon as I build one up.

What would it take to get the cost below $100?
$250 is quite expensive, considering you still have to port and otherwise
machine it, and it's still not a complete intake manifold. Also, what's the
weight as shown?

Looks very nice, though!

A miracle. 5 pounds.
