Default The Manifold is done!

Well, my manifold direction and concept have changed a few times in the past 5mos. but I am glad to say I ended up going the Marcela route! I am the kind of guy that form is just as important as function and this latest masterpiece that John created is with out question a testament to that. I ended up going with the 125mm TB again as well since I had good luck with it in the past.




Now the rest of the engine package is in the skilled hands of Billy Briggs!



Here we go!!

I could have MAYBE squeaked by with the 8+ but at this point why risk it when burning the volume of M1 I will be moving.
