Post subject:  RSA Manifold update
Hi guys the sad news is - no manifolds before Christmas - due to manufacturing difficulties - sand in the castings etc. - I changed foundries after that - and have to wait my turn - yearend rush orders and all that

The pattern as you can deduce has been redone - full blown wooden model with cad drawings :D

One of the things I have learned - aluminum shrinks more than you think - model over size to compensate

So the project is coming along - it my first time so it takes a bit of time, and since I am not part of a big organization funding cames from overtime work - that said it is a very enjoyable project and I have learned a lot.

I have the short runner dually in my hands now as well - interesting the #2 and #5 runners goes underneath the plenum and joins it at the back - the runners are equal length and volume.


I would like to thank all the slant six members - SlantsixDan and Doc in particular for information input and support

BTW a blanking plate for stock manifolds is also now part of the parts list!!

Sounds great! No hurry here. Take your time and get it right. Measure thrice, cast once...

Nah wont give up to much riding on this - a lot of RSA guys is also in line for the manifold - at this stage if I can still count on you guys and I think I can the order is in the region of 63 manifolds :D On or two going to Oz a bunch to the States a couple to Canada one to Germany - and all the guys reaction is - "we know this is a time consuming job no rush just get it right"
