I got a report that the car fired up today with the new intake. Of course it's been a blizzard of snow up here on and off the last week or so, it's going to be tricky getting the car 4 hours away to a dyno.
Hmmm... looks like the rear cylinders would be starved for air. That neck bend is so asymmetrical and severe on the DE motors - hard to fix with any design but looks like a solid attempt. GL!
I'm not seeing the rear cylinders starving, but I have a little bit of a question about velocity. The collector area looks like it may cause a bottleneck depending on the interior wall and horns setup. But, aside from that looks like a great prototype.
The Fontana guys used what I think is the best design for outright peak figures.
Just IMHO, I was thinking a manifold that had a center throttle body inlet would be more beneficial, something like this perhaps:
I like this design for the aspect of performance, but this would cover the oil fill and force you to relocate the throttle body coolant lines, PCV tube and TB wiring.
The goal for this manifold is to create power and make as little modification to the engine compartment as possible.

This is what I was thinking too. I like the idea
