Hi, Paul.....I received the cast intake manifold.  I tried every way I could to make the gasket
line up with the holes, and found that the bottom two holes would be off the end of the flange.
Then I noted the e-mail from John Slade, stating that he had the same problem. You replied that
you "screwed up slightly on that version when you tried to save weight, and that you will add a
little more metal to the flange on the next batch".  Fortunately, I am not in a hurry for a good
fitting manifold.  I would much rather return this version and wait for the next batch, as I have
no welding and machining skills nor contacts. I was hoping for a version like the first batch, or
the next batch.  Thanks, Paul       Paul Conner, Mobile, AL

This manifold and the next batch will not fit the third gen engines without 
extensive modifications. If you cannot make these modifications send me private 
email and I will give you shipping instructions to get your money back.

We have no plans to cast a manifold specifically for the third gen engine at this time.

If you have a third gen engine and you are thinking of ordering the manifold don't!
