I would do alloy if you can, being non cross flow motor a steel intake manifold is going to suck up alot of heat. Though chroming it would help
my apologies, I meant zinc,d and ill be running a water to air cooler, so not to worried, in fact I may even look at enamel coating.

Have you sorted any of the water to air stuff yet? I have Toyota MA63 Celica water to air heat exchangers that I'll let go for cheap...

Google the injector sizes - those dimensions I gave were off the top of my head.

And yes you can pop injectors / fuel rails off, I did that in an early run up tests on my coupe, when my fuel rail was held down by zip ties... :lol:

Was a fun moment in my life, with 3 bar fuel pressure spraying all over my hot engine bay, never moved so fast, shut off ignition, grabbed extinguisher and rags, and were all over it in about 5 seconds.... very stressful moment....

never again... pulled manifold off soon after, and had my fixing bars welded in between my inlet runners, that pull the fuel rail down nice & firm.

It was this moment in your build thread that had me wondering about the injectors being held in place.

I thoroughly enjoyed that.
Fucking holley carbs. Leak like bullet riddled sieves. I like how his fix to begin with was to keep trying to start it. Then when the gas can went up, he said FUCK. And took it outside. Comedy gold.
Belongs in the wtf fail thread.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............
