Stopped up at the foundry on the way to the
 hangar and low and behold they were pouring the intake
 manifolds as I walked in. Will have the parts in the next
 couple of days. Too hot to take with me.
 Will fit all engines up to RX8 with some porting.
 No porting required on four ports up to 93.

 How many can handle just a raw casting?

Paul,
I would like a manifold, and the injector bodies (4).  What is the difference
in "raw" and (cooked?) i.e. how much machining is needed.  Also cost
differential?

The difference is the top and back are fly cut flat on a mill. 
I am not sure of the cost on that yet. As soon as I get the casting
I will get some quotes. One of the places I have in mind is an engine
overhaul shop. The same machine they use to resurface heads & blocks can
be used to resurface intake manifolds. I suspect that may be cheaper
than a traditional general purpose machine shop and easier to find.
Some smoothing should also be done on the back once it is fly 
cut down to size.
