I have this modeled in Solidworks, but can easily convert it to most formats. Please let me know what format you need when you contact me. It's about 7" tall.

This part will be used to form a couple dozen parts w/ ~0.090" 3003 H14 aluminum.

Quantity: 1
Material: Alunuminum, steel, hardwood, plastic, ect. I don't really care what you use (use scrap you have laying around the shop) as long as it is durable enough to use for ~20 parts.
Finish: I don't know how to quantify this, but it doesn't need to be polished or 'really' smooth. Lightly catching a fingernail on the grooves is acceptable. I don't expect the machine grooves to transfer to my parts. I can always go over it with a sanding disc if I want it smoother.
Tolerances: + or - 0.025" on the profile. The parts needs to make the 22.5* bend + or - 2.5*.

You can make it out of multiple pieces and bolt it together or out of a single piece.

I was unsuccessful at attaching the file as an attachment. Send me your email address and let me know what file format you need and I'll send it to you.

If you need additional details, please let me know. Of course, you can always call with questions. I'm sure you know to keep the calling hours reasonable (I'm in the Central Timezone).

If it matters, I'm not a 'big fish'. Just a guy who gets ideas and isn't afraid to, "Give it a shot!"

Have a good day!

I'd be interested in trying to make this on my router, free of charge. Can't guarantee, but you can't argue with the price! Send me the SW file if it is 2008 or older, or send an STL if you have 2009.

Alternatively I could also make it on my rapid prototyping machine. I will need the file to quote. It may last for a couple dozen parts.

I will PM you my e-mail addy.

Yes, I am working on an intake manifold for my engine. I am about 1/2 way through with my first one:





The runner form in this thread is for a BBF with a different style of heads. I'm just playin' around .

Have a good day!

Lol, , I made five of the kits posted above. Right now, I'm trying to sell them at a 50% loss... Pick myself back up, brush the dirt off my clothes, figure out where I went wrong, and try again .

IMO, anyone talented and skilled enough to do the welding would be capable of sourcing, outsourcing, or manufacturing the parts as pictured. There are few custom manifold builders, but they are in the top 2% of welding ability and skill, plus I know for a fact atleast 2 of the 3 I'm thinking of manufacture thier own parts.

Selling complete custom manifolds for under $2500... You may have a market... How pretty are your welds?

Don't look at it as so much of a loss, college is probably more expensive, then you have to find a job to pay back all those school loans, thank the bankers Flippin a-holes could get away with murder, JMO...
