Has anybody ever made intake manifold itself? There was one instructions in santuccis book but is there any experience anybody? How important is the water heeting in manifold and how it´s possible to engineer if I wanna try DIY intake manifold. Most likely I´ll buy clifford intake, but I´m curious...
The intake and headers on this 311 cube were fabricated by my cousin, Paul Fleming and myself.It has a 3/4" sq. tube running around the profile of the intake. The top plate started out as 1/2" alum. but has had some serious lightening, the top plate stays cold to the touch but the manifold and the runners stay around 190 deg and has fantastic throttle response. We have 2 more top plates, one for large base 2 G's (1 11/16") for a stack injection , and one for a 4 barrel. With 28 1/4" screws, just change the top plate, new carb set-up is easy.
