#482413 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 8440 Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Does anyone have a technical drawing of the intake manifold? I'd like to look into producing an all-metal unit that is already ported out and ready to go. I can apply "fixes" to the stocker, but it's a band-aid. I feel like the Road Star community needs an option again.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #482417 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14922 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I tried to do it and it is a really complicated part to do. After a lot of thought I came to the conclusion that the ported stocker is best 1 because it flexes and would seal better after surfaced. Also the stocker does not transmit heat like the metal one does. I have chopped them up and tried to mate with the HD manifold and a few other things and still haven't found a good replacement for the stock ported. Replacing one every 5-6 years is no big expense and they do perform well.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #482439 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 8440 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Do you have a trashed stocker?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #482476 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14922 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I'll have to dig around and see what I have.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #482483 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 8440 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I'm wondering about a silicone based moulded part with metal reinforced attach flanges for the cylinders. May be impractical, but I'm finding some new resources on this Constellation project, and some ambitious engineers and companies that are looking for diverse opportunities.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #482485 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14922 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Silicone is way to soft as it is you can see the rubber manifold flex inward on the intake stoke on the OEM manifold with silicone it would almost collapse I am sure. That s why I was trying to come up with something like the HD manifold where you have 3 pieces.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #486940 FF56 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 161 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Just an idea. I remember in the late '90s early '00, there was a company making chevy valve covers out of a "super" plastic, was billed as being as strong as metal but lighter and didn't transfer heat. Again just a thought.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #486969 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 8440 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I was actually intending on fiber or wire reinforced construction to cope with the intake vaccum with minimum distortion.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #486971 fireman922 (User) Schrodinger's Cat - Wanted Dead & Alive Platinum Boarder Posts: 5190 Re:Intake manifold 1 Year, 1 Month ago   You smart, talented guys figure it out and the Clinic members will beat a path to your door.   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat.

Now I'm sorry I gave my old stock manifold away.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
