Btw for the Cruiser where space is tight above the engine I recommend
sawing off 3/8 of an inch all away across the top. That is there to

accommodate

93 and later engines that have the ports moved up. If you don't have
a capable band saw let me know and we will work something out.

Use two inch inside radii RB Wagner thick wall 1-1/2 inch pipe bends.
That is a center line radius of slightly less than three inches.

The RB Wagner cost for bends is half tubing bend prices
and there is no need to heat treat. If I get a lot of interest we can
do a group buy on RB Wagner bends and save even more money.

I know you know all this but I am reminding the new people.

Here is a picture that shows the excess material above the left top mounting
bolt.

Congratulations Paul!!!!!, I'm proud of you........That Intake Manifold assy is
looking mighty gooooooooood!!!! :)

I'm not getting it,......Are you saying to cut 3/8 of an inch off the ENTIRE
Top of the Manifold?.....Please clarify.
                                                       Butch

Yes. Saw off a strip 3/8th of an inch wide. Use a guide for your band saw.
 What are you building? You may not have to do that. That
is for people needing the last half inch of cowl clearance. The Kis Cruiser
is one such airplane. So too is a Lancair 320. Also what year engine do you have?
If it is a 93 or later you will need that last 3/8th of an inch.
