BTW, Al, did you make that intake?  It's beautiful!

 

I wish!  I designed it, but the welding was done by a friend, Cliff Manzke, who lives near me.  Two others tried to make it before he did – both failed completely; Cliff did a beautiful job.  As I recall; the intake manifold/with flange only weighs about 2 ½ lbs; less than half the weight of that TWM throttle body.  He also welded up the coolant plumbing and machined the coil holder.  He was in business for himself; but now he has a full-time job; so it’s a little hard to get his time.
