Thanks everybody for all the comments.
This has taken over 2 years to come together. (long story).
I can't say enough about the place that did all the work. (Customs Unlimited) of Hartville, Ohio. "www.customsunlimited.net" They've only been involved with the project since June, but they are solely responsible for its 1st class, quality execution. Great bunch of guys too. Very professional, and superb craftsmen.

I want to thank Andrew for taking his great photos, but for those of you who think it's a "little over the top", I wish you could see it in the flesh. Most people who have seen it, think it looks like it was supposed to be that way from the factory.

I never planned on it being functional, but it would be shamelessly easy to make it that way. All the necessary parts that you would need are reproduced, and it would be very easy to fabricate a PVC inlet directly into the back of the manifold.

Well, that's all for now, I've got to get up in 5 hours, so I can meet up with Rick Z and his Wife, and it's off to Woodward we go!
