Default flipped hooker swap manifolds

Thought I would share what I'm doing for manifolds for my miata front mount build. They are hooker swap manifolds. They are cast steel like the trucks, but fit much tighter to the block. Pic is not completely welded. 2 1/2 inch thick wall stainless is what I'm using. The manifold appear to have taken the weld really well.

Heres a pic of them stock. They have larger runners than truck manifolds.

I like.... I saw these couple months ago, I'm trying to get a buddy to run these on his gbody swap. He's running 6.0 manifolds because headers won't fit.
