Yes I have a 6 port non turbo from Atkins.
The manifold fits it very well as far as the way the passages line up.

Snip


Are you running a 6-port engine?  The other problem I have with the Atkins
intake is that it has huge secondary ports, made to cover the ports in the
6-port.   The secondary ports are much larger than the ports on my 4-port
engine.  There are a couple ways I could fix that, but with all the mods, it
almost seems (I never learn <g>) easier to make a similar intake from
scratch.

This port mismatch is something that is certainly bad, but "just how bad" is
the question.  My previous manifold was the Atkins wrapover intake, and it
had the same mismatch.  I never even noticed until after I removed it.  The
turbo might have made it less of an issue.

Cheers,
Rusty
