Jays manifold adapter at Beaver Springs
« on: April 28, 2014, 04:39:40 PM »
Barry R brought one of Jays adapters to the FE show. I gotta say it is truly a work of art! Barry also had his head there and one of the new Michigan cast blocks. Very nice pieces. Gotta save my pennies for the block. I have one of Jays adapters ordered.

The quality is definitely first rate! It's really nice to see such quality in casting and machining in a U.S. made product. Not something you come across every day. Unfortunately, it will be a while before I gather all the pieces to put my SOG block and adapter to use :(

Guess no one has to tell you again but that adapter looks like fine artwork. I was going to ask if you are getting any feedback on how they are being run: street, track/street,  race only but figure if you could give some incentive like a hat, shirt, cool decal or who knows what?....  in return for the customer's sending you a picture of the manifold adapter running in their ride you could have a really cool promotional portfolio...

Bud, I don't understand the question.  Can you elaborate?

Nice work, this is a really neat part to help FE's compete. Real happy to see a better, smarter version too.
