The 2 bagel intake manifold.

Hello people, you will already be disappointed to find out that there are no pics here yet. i should however have my pc back tomorrow or so, and be able to show you the work thats gone on.

The 2 bagel intake has taken weeks to materialise, and hours to think up. It is totally free of turbulence, and though not the optimal shape for maximum air flow, its not far off. all corners are radiused and all flow is smooth.

construction is as always steel sheet migged together in interesting ways. its attached to a stump of an f8 dohc manifold by four 160C 44mm id goodyear radiator hose sections and no less than 16 hi torque hose clamps (to provide more even clamping and sealing than 8 T bolt types would have done.

if it seems i am being vague, its because i'm trying to build suspense...

tune in later for the pictures...

fred.
