alright,
new manifold arrived, sweeet.

came out of the cast pretty rough, all the ports were average spent some time with the file and rasp,
before

after

much better, should flow a little more now.
next up trail fitment


lookin good.
and then...

doh!, super efficient massive radiator. gets in way, not to worry, i reckon i can get around it. probably get away with a 45* bend, butt piece of pipe then a 135* bend around the radiator to straight pipe, reduce down to intercooler..
or i can just use spray paint lids??
