As title suggests, I am looking to acquire the lower half of the factory mivec v6 inlet manifold.

Nice, so what you guys want for them?
I only want 1..
Well, depending how much, or alternatively, how little, you want for them..

So Ben/Dwayne..
What are you each asking for the manifolds?

Sorry clint, missed this thread for some reason. Id only be after $30 for it (This is the bit with the flex pipe in it right), but I will have to have a look to make sure I have one that is OK.

Dwayne, sorry, you're thinking exh manifold/link pipe.
I am after the lower inlet manifold, sits low in the v, feeds the cylinders, injectors mount into it.

Clint is that the 6A12 rocker covers?
You must post pics of the finished project

Yes, they are.
It is going in a mid engine car, so the smoother rear cam cover will be the visible one.
I had a number of parts soda blasted to clean them, the wrinkle painted the cam covers.
The inlet will receive a custom plenum, mounted centre, between cam cover, doing away with the long runners and internal butterfly plenum.
This will be either raw alloy or wrinkle black, yet to decide.

want to make sure all is OK first. Will remove on saturday and then post you.

Couple quick pics.

Love the red wrinkle finish. A little Ferrari-esque even

LOL, yea.
I have shorter exhaust than you guys, too!

Looks very exotic like that.
One thing is for sure though, it should sound amazing.

When will you be able to put it on a dyno?
Maybe some before and after custom plenum?

Although it would be handy to see, due to it being a custom engine conversion, there will be no factory inlet on the car for any amount of time.
As you can see, engine is not yet in..
Gotta trial fit, fab mounts, build exhaust, custom driveshafts, gear linkages, inlet, coolant piping, oil filter relocate and oil cooler, etc, etc..
Then, ecu, wire up...
Its a long and unfortunately slow process, in between shift work.
Haven't touched it in nearly a week.
