Okay... So I have this idea about building a custom intake manifold.
Before we get started let me state that I do work in a machine shop part time, I do know how to weld, and have done quite a bit of welding projects in the past. I also know that building a custom intake sounds easy but isnt exactly cake. Anyway I have this Idea about building a twin throttle-body SMIM. I'm not too sure about what size of TBs would be used or the size of the stacks needed to be used as this is just an idea and I've not really researched into it a whole lot yet. On the Chrysler 3.5L they run twin TBs and I think I could probably make something to do the same. Either the TBs sitting stacked or side/side. I took a few minutes to make a little drawing in GIMP to give a small idea... Anyway I intend to research this later and figure out just exactly what is in store for this project. I can make the flange if I have to but will probably just order one and go from there... I'll decide when I figure out what I'm going to do.
