Pete I have same manifold and problem.
If you are in the mood make 2 and I will be happy to pay whatever costs.
I also have problems port matching and thought if you extend the runners ( allowing enough for solid 2mm gasket and about 3mm into ports) through mounting plates to locate into ports the problem might be solved.
Thanks,Gary.

Hmm im having enough trouble racking my brain to make 1 let alone 2  Im averaging 1 or 2hrs of a night or at 3am before work to get it done. I reckon i have the port matching solved so 40mm throttle bodys. 38mm runners giving me 34.8 ID so i will chamfer outside mounting plate 2.6mm and im thinking of machining up a cone that slips into the original groove on the head and machining a rebate into the intake flange. Havent got that far. I mocked up my rare REPCO efi manifold last night. So next big problem will be injectors im steering away from the XR6 turbo ones to stumpy little LS ones and im not going to use the billet fuel rail i bought in favour of a factory style LS fuel rail in stainless as i can get it heaps small and run a factory efi pressure reg so it looks less modern. I have gone with stainless for the manifold but will ceramic coat to make it all look period kinda.. Excuse the cable ties i didnt have any long bolts        |

Why do you think i dont sleep at night the only car thats driving is the army jeep and look how that ended up big engine bay fire charging battery and lithium jump pack was still on it without me seeing it. had lunch came back over to a decent fire. so all day was wasted re wiring engine bay new leads new rotor and cap re do all terminals clean alternator need to repaint a few things..  so the Ute will be rolling this week and hopefully get linkages and injectors done on the FE this week coming. |
