  Fair enough Jay, just as long as I get on the list for one of these intakes!!!  Timing should be about right!

Jay,Cory has been recovering from a severe vehicle collision for the last month and will be out for another month at least.He wants you to know the manifold looks great and still wants at least 2 for sure. Thx                       Mary(his woman)

Here are some pictures of the first five castings:







As usual I'm a little behind schedule, but I think by Friday evening I'll have the machining on the fixtures I need done.  Then I will have the whole Memorial Day 3 day weekend to start developing the machining operations and getting the first manifold machined.  I think this process will take me a few weeks, but I'll definitely get a good start on it this weekend.  We'll see how it goes; I'll post an update Monday night or Tuesday on how things are progressing...

Had a question? I can see everything lining up with a Cleveland or Boss intake except the distributor,  how did you work around that Jay? Or is relocation of the hole on the intake part of the process, enquiring minds want to know LOL .....Jon

Hubba hubba! I can't wait for mine! I hope you can get the adapters to accept some of the sexy looking Nascar manifolds.....

My intention is a Trick Flow MPFI intake, they make them for Cleveland engines so it should go.

Not sure I understand the question, Jon.  The Cleveland intake doesn't have a hole for the distributor, so this intake adapter keeps the FE distributor in the stock position, and the Cleveland intake just fits in place on top of the adapter.  No interference between the Cleveland intake and the FE distributor...

Sounds like a brutal, life-altering experience.  Glad to hear that you made it through, Cory.

I am very lucky...I dont really know how i came through it with out more "serious" injuries...I have numerous fractures including a broken pelvis (3 spots)..I had 2 dozen stitches to the right side of my face.I was literally beaten black and blue.....I am just starting to move around now...Sitting is still limited and bending is out of the question...My F-250 diesel 4x4 looks like it got hit by a train.....

I got hit so hard it tore the front axel out,pushed the transfer case right out of the truck and I flipped twice and landed on my side.The roof was cut off and i was heli-jetted to the hospital..

Built "Ford" tough...

Ah I see, I have never messed with Cleveland or modified engines. Is the distributor in the front cover?
