lol awesome

Great work!
The only thing better than doing this is doing it and posting progress!

Wow this absolutely Blows my mind I have to commend u for undertaking such a detailed manifold build. If u think about the thousands that brand name companies invest in R&D to put one of these into production it's probably a nice chunk of change, and here u are just building one in your garage. Your skills amaze me, take a look through this build this guy had a custome made manifold also and it is just unreal. May give u ideas for your next one

Got up real early this morning and got more done. Later today I will finish welding the collector and start with the runners.

Man that's some cool $hit, awesome work.
I check the new posts multiple times a day just to see updates of this

So much better than the hillbilly **** that inundates this site. Nice work.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

So I finished welding the collector. I am going to fuse the inside of the flange to the little bit of collector hanging inside tomorrow. But aside from that it is complete and I will begin the runners now. But this is all for today, I'm toast.






I still need to improve my starts/stops but its only a cosmetic thing at this point. No big deal.

Not much time to work on it today. Almost complete #1 runner.

That is looking real nice Zach, something you can take a lot of pride in.

Are you doing shortest length runners or same length? Or going a little more deep in the engineering with flow matched runners? Superb work btw, wish I could I'd have skills like that to make my little design ideas reality lol.

I'm not concerned too much about short vs long or equal flow. I am however aiming for runners as close in length as possible. I did a bit of modelling using bend tech software and sketchup but I'm working as I go. This is version 1.0 and knowing me, I will probably build another after this improving what I don't like.

After driving people home tonight its about 4AM now just got home and I think I'll put some new pics up. #1 done, #2 almost done. These two are extremely close in length. Going to measure exactly tomorrow.
