Really cool pieces Jay!

is this 1st intake designed for a Hi-Riser (primarily) or, with your adaptor, do you think it would work as well with other traditional iron and aluminum heads? Guesstimate on the manifold's weight versus a pure sheet metal intake?

Bob, the one I just posted is designed for low riser and medium riser heads, on my #13001 intake adapter.  It will also fit directly on a 351C with stock heads, although you would have to use one of those pans over the valley, since there is no bottom on the intake.  So, I can now do these billet intakes for any FE (LR, MR, HR, or Tunnel Port) except the SOHC, and I do plan to do an SOHC version in the near future.   As a guess I would say that the billet intake is probably 10-12 pounds heavier than a sheet metal intake.

Keith I would do a top like that for a pair of Dominators if I get an order for one.  It would take me a little extra time because the design and CNC code would have to be modified, of course, but it wouldn't be a big deal to do that.

Just looking through this thread again because its so darn cool.

Do you have any plans to dyno this type of manifold on the 504 mule?
