Found this and thought I would pass it on.The intake port position looks to a GM or ford,but still something different to think about.The ausspeed manifold looks better to me.

I had an odd thought for a manifold, What do you all think of taking a stock 1 barrel, aluminum for ease of welding ability, and cutting it parallel to the head, then lengthening the runners by a few inches, 3 or 4, for a long runner 1 barrel manifold. Would this improve torque? HP? This is assuming I could make a clean connection were the runners are lengthened.
Just a thought

I think the aussie Intake and the hyperpack have this covered already.

But I'm thinking cheap, made with junk yard parts, aussie is very nice part, but out of my budget for today.
