Okay Jay, the obvious question is how do I get one of these manifolds once the become available? Granted I need to send you $$$, but I want to make sure I'm on your list for a manifold! I'm on plenty of peoples lists these days, but those are usually their lists that start with an S and and with a T... especially with my wife!...3

Thanks Jay... and yes I read your book - Excellent thank you! As for the water pump/Fan issue, I think I'll stay with the stock unit with electric fans since I already have. If I were heavy into drag racing, I'm sure I would go for the extra HP. I'm mainly going to be cruising and hope to get some time down the strip later this year.Something else to consider, I'm sure I would gain some ET just dropping about 50-75 lbs. off my fat X@# which would also help my health and easier on the bank account!
Anyways, thanks for the information!

Jay, what about offering a "generic" casting and leave it to the buyer to have it machined on his own for his configuration? That cuts your cost down and, eliminates you having to fit all the various variations. Figure most are going to be using an 4-v heads and limit the casting to the most likely configurations.
For an additional cost, then offer a finished manifold that will bolt right in place for a specific setup!
Face it, 30 40 years ago anytime you bought non-oem parts there was always a fair amount of variation in the aluminum castings even fro Edel... and it was up to the buyer to get it to fit right.
I'm willing to shell out $400 to $500 for the adapter plate (saves me time and trouble) and accept that I will still need to machine it to adapt to my specific application.
My applications (prior post) - 351C -4C Weiand tunnel-ram and, a 4C- 4-barrel setup.

Jay, please let me know when the intake adapter plates are ready for sale! I've been planning on making my own for several years using a Weind intake mating to a 351C 4V... Any finally bought a mill to do the job! However, your unit is just what the doctor ordered and may end up buying 2 from you for two separate builds.
I have a goofy idea of using a Weiand 351C-4V tunnel ram with six (yes six) Autolite 2100 1.02's sitting on top of an aluminum box... in a 64 galaxie... It may be goofy, but what the hey, I think it may just look goofy enough to be kool! The 2100's have the front shaved off so that they are "half-moon" with the fuel bowls facing out towards the fenders and three velocity stacks cut in half.
But then with the adapter plate, I can switch setups very quickly to a standard 4-barrel setup!
Also, Are you going to offer gaskets or, is that an "on-your-own" buyer DIY project?
Regards
Tim.
