tooter's next manifold adventure...

[tooter]

Ok, tooter's back at it again with another adventure...

This time it's a bolt on intake manifold spacer that will make the manifold runners longer to lower the torque curve.

I installed a stock intake manifold so that I can check out all of the clearances, and it looks great with a generous 3.5 inches of empty space between the front of the manifold and the radiator reservoir.




A 2 inch thick spacer should be perfect with plenty of room to slip the manifold over the longer threaded studs. Plus we already have the tooling to do two inch deep machining. So far it looks like all green lights!

I'll have a prototype spacer made (it'll look similar to this one I produced for Tacoma trucks.)...





It'll be dyno tested just like the manifolds. Then we'll see what the before and after torque curves look like, and go from there.
