Market Demand for a new version of the PSE-style intake adapter?

[faulkdaddy]

sign me up Jay . I would compare it to my sheetmetal intake when Iget the 486 built.

I am in....one for sure.Possibly two...........Cory

[AlanCasida]

I would definitely want one also! 

[Qikbbstang]

Wow I'm eating crow big time, I obviously know FE intake pricing which with as through the decades because of weight/size and machining operation have stayed high and don't have a clue about other series motors intakes. The $400 + or - Cleve tunnel ram looks to be a bargain. I'm a Sgt Major dumbell on knowing if the CHI, Funnel Web, Yates-NASCAR bad-ass-sinister intakes could be adapted likewise to a FE?

[jayb]

Great idea Jay. Would the Yates, CHI and, the other Australian high rise intakes be able to be used?

Yes, the idea would be to have the ability to customize the ports and bolt pattern of each intake base to work with whatever 351C intake you wanted to use.

[MC3780]

I'm definitely in (and have a real and present need). 

Thank-you for your FE stewardship Jay!  You are very unselfish with your time and efforts.

Jay - It looks like your poll is a great tool for evaluating the risk of this venture.  Maybe touching base with a couple of bigger engine builders, like Keith Craft and Barry R., would give you another data point.

Cool idea.  I just hope a real business case can be made for it.  I wonder how many units Pro Stock Paul moved back in the day?

[plovett]

I would buy one.  Maybe not right when it's released, but I'd get one eventually if it was still available.  I don't have a specific need for one right now, buuuut it's so freakin' cool that I would find a way to use it eventually.

Jay, I think for any serious FE engine build that this would be the best option. It opens up so many possibilities. It would also make constructing a sheet metal intake a lot easier. I would be very interested in two of them. Garry- coops427

I'm with Paulie , I would definetly buy one but it might be a year from now ..... tunnel wedge is also on my list of "must have's" and I have yet to run my med 2x4 yet , so I'm a little slow on getting stuff done , I need some trunk monkey's for neighbors , just don't have any

[Kerry j]

Another buyer here Jay. I don't have a project that needs it right now, but it's so cool, I would have to have one.

[jayb]

Thanks for all the responses, guys, it looks like the market demand is there.  My schedule is to have the design and CAD work done by the end of June, have castings sometime in August, and then have the first machined prototypes in the September-October time frame.  I will post updates when I hit some of the milestones along the way.

Although it's not in the immediate plans for my high riser race engine, I think it would be a worthwhile adapter to have, so count me in. Especially if the ports can be matched to the BT HR ports.

[jayb]

Well, since I have a set of BT high risers myself, it kind of behooves me to make the manifold fit those heads

Not in my immediate plan, but I would be in interested buying 1 for my TP.
