where's the fat controller when you need him i have heaps of shit to do and not enough time to do it.
any how i started with a 30 degree bend, made a tappered dolly and of i went.
once i had finished i tapped it altogether for a little testing on the flow bench.it was interesting.
i don't want to bore you with the details so i will show you some pic's.

with the last picture ,i don't know why everyone puts 50 cent's next to there ports ,so i figured it must be for good luck or to make a wish.so i wished for good luck.

Very nice dude.
You know you did good when it flows more WITH the manifold and butterflies.

Nice work westi.

I love the way you go ahead and make things instead of buying them. Why buy cast manifolds cut them in half and port them? Just whip a few up in a spare 5 mins...... NOT a shit load of work!!! good stuff dude, respect.

the 3 on the side are for oil return.
and the 2 at the top just under the filler cap are rocker cover breathers.
1 on the side at the bottom is oil pick up.
and the big barstard on the very bottom is for draining the oil out.
