Tv808 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 does anyone have or know where to buy a intake manifold other than the manifold for side draft setup? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 A stock one? Any old '83 and up 720 gas engine found in a wrecking yard. The earlier '81-'82 Z22 engine intake will also work. Offenhauser sells a dual plain intake, or used to, but I don't see the merits over the stock one. A 'want to buy' ad here... http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/category/4-engine/?sort_key=date_added&sort_order=desc ... may get results. We don't allow buying and selling on the forums, only in the CLASSIFIEDS. There's a handy link at the top of every page just below the RATSUN.NET logo. Are you converting form the EFI to carb? 1 Quote Link to comment
Tv808 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 no i was installing an empi 38E carb kit but was not able to remove the studs on the intake manifold. they were seized when i tried to double nut them the where just stretching the studs. so i had to cut them off and drill and tap them. as i was doing so i ended up making a mistake and cracked the manifold because i drilled a little too deep. i’m going to eventually put a side draft webber 45 set up but i would like to see how this carb would run in it with the he mods. eventually i would like to use it and modify it to make a blown through turbo setup 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Then you really meed the Z24 and not the Z22 intake. The Z22 has smaller round ports, the Z24 are square with rounded corners. 1 Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Do some reading on that empi before buying that intake, I heard that they are p.o.s. poor quality , made in China shit. They try to be weber. 1 Quote Link to comment
Madkaw Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I should have an extra in a week or so. I’m buying a spare motor complete and I’m just wanting the long block 1 Quote Link to comment
