Watched a $5000 race in LA in '91 with a Datsun B210 running a Mazda rotary against Nova with a dragster-type mech F.I. on a blower (BDS?), both sprayed VHT type mixtures about forty or fifty foot down the road

There are a few other XE intakes, and several differnt original blower manifolds.

The intake on the Suncammer is not OEM.

Do you have any additional information to go a long with this? How do you know the XE-93248 intake was not made by Ford? Do you have examples of the other experimental intakes?

Several articles on the Sunliner state that it is a custom manifold. I could not find the specific article that I remember which gave the reason that Cook chose to build the intake. The fact that it won the Ridler meant there was a lot of coverage of the car and a lot to search.

I think it's awesome and in the right application would be jaw dropping cool, but what application would want so long of a runner and so much volume?

The long runners were what gave the 5.0 Mustang the torque to outrun the 5.7s in the Camaro (Z28 and IROCs both) and Vettes, while giving up almost 50 c.i, especially if you threw the Tony DeFeo tuneup at it. My thoughts are that the manifold would work great in a truck/torque motor while using a lot of factory parts and computer to convert the FE to fuel injection with factory reliability

Would a Rockwell hardness-type tester be able ID the area or even a scratch test using a scribe?

How can you tell if the hardened area is still there under the valves on a D2 head? I am trying to find out for a thread on a another forum

Joe Craine got me all excited today when he sent me a bunch of pictures of a couple of Trick Flow Specialties EFI manifolds sitting on top of his intake adapter. I think this would be an awesome setup, both from an appearance and performance standpoint, and would give anybody an easy entry into an EFI system. I've posted some of the pictures that Joe sent below, with some explanatory notes.

Here's a picture of the manifold with one of the tops in place; this is the normal street top, with some additional runner length built in:

Joe tells me that you can buy ready made fuel rails for these manifolds, and of course you can bolt on the correct size throttle body. Add injectors and an EFI box, and you have a nearly complete EFI system. I'm impressed...

A few months back, I had a few comments on a thread here about a thread for an FE build at Hot Rod Engine Tech that included this manifold for a turboed and fuel injected truck engine.

WOW, actually a YEAR and a few months!!
