Does anyone make an aluminum or even stainless spacer to go between the lower and upper runners? Say .5" thick?

Why not rather get a phenolic plastic spacer made up - get the benefit of heat insulation too...

 

[JDMfantasy]

How much do they cost, and how thick can they made?

I know someone who makes the phenolic spacer.I think He makes a 1/4" and he was thinking of doing a 3/8".I forget how much he was charging.I was going to get it but i didn't feel like taking the manifold again

Who was this, Erven?

Erven,

Was this Eric Easterby from Newark, DE? If so, do you know what the benefits of this are? And is there a down side?

Thanks,

Scott

If a phenolic spacer would fit, this would be a great idea... someone get hoppin' on that CNC program. =)

Hi Scott,It is Eric I know him pretty good,I work with is dad.
The benefitsare cooler intake manifold,which means cooler air temp .He uses a cnc machine to make.You would have to use longer bolts.

I was considering doing this when my engine was apart. I thought there may a clearance problem so I passed. Sounds good in theory. and know that it would probably work.
