Wow, looks like you've just started? You don't know what you're doing about the inlet? You that the inlet runner shape and length is
very important? Making your own will take so much time and effort to get right. Manurfactures spend a fortune to get it right. Can you not use the
original and what about the ignition system? How many systems do you have to make? Cooling, fuel, exhaust?
All of mine are custom because of the complexities of moving a transversed engine to longitudinal format, if I do another one, it will be an engine
that is already a rear wheel drive layout. I'd love a push rod V8 like the LS1. So small compared to a Lexus 4.0 V8.
A bigger engine that over hangs the front axel line will change the handling but I'm sure the great sound of a V8 and happy rear end would make
up for it.

I understand about inlet manifold design, i may end up going throttle bodies al-a your setup but thats a way off, everything is boltable together, but
yeah it is still in quite early stages, i dont get as much time on it as id like and im doing it all outside, i dont have a workshop, but it'll
get there eventually.

Ah ok. I thought I had it rough, I have a small garage that measures 18' X 10'.
It is very tight but I've had many evenings in it when it's been pouring rain out and thought at the time "I'm glad I've
got this little garage" 
Any questions you've got just ask or send me a message.
