Been busy fixing up the garage a little. So I haven't made too much progress on the manifold.


Took the 120grit cartridge rolls to the all the runners on the lower intake manifold to take off the casting marks and rough spots. I am not opening them up as trying to port match the upper will be a challenge.


In the process of removing the casting flash and smoothing the entry into the long runners


Things are looking much smoother than they were before. I am not sure if this will be worth much power but every little bit helps when you're NA

Since the manifold didn't come with the stock fuel rails and the ones I see on Ebay come with injectors I don't need or are incomplete, I ordered up some FAST blank fuel rail stock and various fittings from Summit and Radium Auto to make the fuel rails/feed setup.

I will run a 6AN feed line from the stock 5/16" hard line to a tee on the back of the drivers side rail which will also feed the passenger side rail. To block off the front of the rails since it's return-less I'll use 2 of the Radium fuel pressure damper adapters for the stock Z dampers since I have 2 spare ones. Should look sweet.

The vacuum actuator or VIAS actuator was damaged in shipping which doesn't seem to be an easy part to come by, so I'll try adapting an exhaust cut out actuator to use in its place.
