So it's possible that I've missed the question [I'm a bit behind on my emails] but is there a market for a Mistral type intake manifold system? I'm in the process of finalizing a casting furnace and foundry setup and have been looking at various projects in and around rotary engines. Intake manifolds have been at the top of the list. I own the needed CNC equipment to build the molds and patterns for a project of this level, it's always just been a issue of time to dedicate to the project.

Recently I was given an opportunity to have more time to do on projects like this [stop working two jobs and have multiple days off to do stuff like this with a reasonably flexible schedule]

I'm curious as to the demand for a reasonably priced manifold? [Also, in the end customers mind, what would be 'reasonably priced'?]

Best Regards
