Eric,
Do you have a copy of the article in Mopar Muscle or do you remember what
issue it was in. My understanding is that you cut down the divider inside
the manifold, I don't remember how much. I also think that you were supposed
to shorten the runners. Again I need to know how much. I hope this is just
as simple as machining the runners from the inside (cutting them down). If I
remember, you had filled in some of the plenum with block filler?? One heck
of a big plenum. Where did you put the block filler. Any help on locating
the article or getting info would be great. I have one of the V-8 manifolds
all cleaned up and ready for the mill.........
