    redlineweber will hook you up with a local retailer.

    a "good" manifold is the hard part, a lot of people have to grind and file them for bolt clearance, not sure if those are just the 8v versions, or if the 16v ones have the same issues.

    Maybe Kris has some ideas... anyone seen Kris clewell on lately?

    I bought the entire redline kit. The Weber 16V intake is a tight fit on cylinders 1&2 it required some clearancing and some ingenuity for something that should "bolt on" It is by far the most common manifold in the US. I bought 6mm shouldered nuts that require a 10mm wrench. I drilled and tapped them to 8mm and used loctite.

    I think this one might be better:

    Collin and Randy had some intakes from South America or South Africa at Techtonics but I think they sold out. you might check with them. I would buy darn near anything besides the Weber intake if I could find it.
