looking for a source for alum. intake runners
 

Doing some experimentation with intake runners anyone got a source for aluminum runners for sheet metal intakes??? You know the ones that are usually rectangular and tapered from the plenum to the head want to try different lengths and diameters on a flow bench--- no billet please--- I can make/buy those!! PM me if you would Thanx---FED387

I got some from Swartz Racing a few years ago for an AMC manifold I built .
I think CFE sells them also.

Thanx Tom --looked at both Swartz and CFE--great stuff but too pricey to cut up and play with------keep thinking tho--FED387

FED: dont know how crafty you are but, if you take square or round stock (dont know what ports you are working with) of the size ports needed ,you can form .080 5052 aluminum around that and make half sections ,find your taper that you need and weld them together ,, it's worth a try if you experimenting gmonde

Gmonde---thanx for the tip --no problem making them thought someone still did it the "old fashioned way"--somebody is still making these only need one or two ----not everyone is going the billet route at least not at this point--bout ready to hack up an old tunnelram just for the runners---when I get the correct dimensions I want gonna have a local guy fab them up FREE out of billet just need to make sure of my dimensions---thanx for the tip---FED387
