Manifold Klotzification

or,how i got sick of the fucking adapter loosening up and i eliminated a potential vacuum leak.

 

I modified an adapter that Mike made and here we go.

210 intake? I hope you're going to open that thing up a little bit. That's a huge part of my poor dyno results on my motor. 

 

Looks fantastic though.

And yet bone stock L16s can pull higher numbers on the Dyno...

Yeah, lol I've got a few different things going on.

 

 

Those tiny 1.1'' intake ports don't breath as well as they could though.

Good enough for a L16 to get 72hp on a dyno...

the mani is aluminum, right? adapter too?

i dont know anything about welding but i think the mani is cast and

cast is hard(er?) to weld?

 

obviously i dont know anything here so please verify

I believe the adapter was forged and i know the manifold is cast.Makes no difference.Aluminum stitches nicely.I have no intention of opening anything up.This motor was a specifc build for a truck used on a ranch & driven daily.The cam is all done by 5500 and the torque peak is 3500 or so.It puts 160 ft pounds to the wheels.
