Re: Intake manifolds needed

You know, they could very well be after-market fuel injection manifolds.  
For the after-market it's common to take carb manifolds and install 
injectors in them with the "carb" assembly being the FI throttle body.  
Look in a CB Performance catalog under fuel injection and it'll all make 
sense.  I believe Gene Berg's FI uses the same setup.

After reading the threads between you and Jim A. it sounds like it'd be 
easier and cheaper to just get a new pair of matched carburetor manifolds 
and sell what you have to someone else or use them for a custom purpose.  
The manifolds you have are now a sunk cost and trying to "force" them to 
work could cost you more than they're worth.

I'm upgrading my 1600 with dual-port heads, and we're planning to create
a very clean intake stream. I acquired a pair of dual-port manifolds in
a bulk deal, but they aren't matched -- one has what appear to be lugs
for injectors, with corresponding voids inside that will mess up the air
flow. I'd be interested to hear what this is for so I can find someone
who needs it, but more importantly I need another intake or perhaps a
matched pair. Does anyone have this part available or know of a good
manifold supplier?
