Does anyone know of a one piece intake manifold for our trucks? It seems like instead of having intake runners and a bridge with all their sharp turns and flow restrictions, combining them all into one piece would make more sense. Kind of like the intake manifold for a carbeurated gasser I guess. Just thinking out loud.

In progress, here is the start! I can make them to keep the CP3 and the Pedistal if needed, but this one is going to be low profile, and ditch the valley CP3. In the pic's It's resting on a few casting tabs that will be removed, in order to mate with the heads.

Looks good Russ , when you get one that will work with a ped and CP3 in the valley depending on what they cost i may be interested !

Sure thing! The twins are going in the front of the drag truck (grill area), so I don't need the pedistal for this one. The layout will be the same, but the intake will be tight around the ped./cp3! I've got the dimensions to make one around a MDE T4 pedistal, as it gave the most room in the back side.
