Reply to "Ultraflow EFI Intake Manifold"

It seems likely that it is a one of a kind. Too bad.

Dan Jones wrote about it on the Cleveland Forum (I believe).
He defended the angle of the injectors stating that it isn't necessary to point the injector at the valve. That is an emissions trick.
I never heard that before either.

If that is so then maybe all one needs is a manifold with the thickness of the runners capable of just boring through and mounting injectors.
It sure would simplify things alot.

Dan mentioned dyno numbers for the engine with the manifold. I may be presumptuous in thinking that it was run with a distributor, certainly a solid state distributor with a small cap would help.

I think the location of the throttle body, right against the glass in the Pantera, likely is a clearance problem. I know Trick Flow makes a 90 degree "manifold" (looks like an adapter to me) for the throttle body.
Maybe it would all fit like a glove?

As far as the runners I think maybe it's more like the location of the runners are the problem rather then the size.

Interestingly enough much of that can be fixed in the thickness of the flange casting just like Ford Racing (Edelbrock) does with the 9.2/9.5 blocks. The castings being the same. The finished product just machined to different thicknesses.

Since this was kinda Dan's baby, let's see if he knows anything additional about it.
