Hi Finn Yes. That’s why I ended up with the 32mm ID Primaries. It was the best I could find and when squashed, that tube fit the primary intake shape pretty well. I tried to keep the dynamic effects of the OEM manifold (shortened to lift peak torque and dynamics up to 6000 and 7200rpm), but if I was to rebuild, I think I would just have clean runners as Tracy opted for into a plennum chamber. Tracy wrote that his 4 port was producing 215hp @ ~21g/hr from memory which is better than we are seeing.

Looking at at manifold drawing it looks like I need 33.5 mm (1.319") ID tubing. Seems the closest I can get is 1.5" OD with 0.049" wall. 35.6mm ID. What I really need is 1-3/8" OD and 0.028" wall but have not been able to source that. I might end up just wrapping existing runners with more fiberglass/epoxy.

I used the original secondary runners after cutting and turning the manifold ~180 degrees. I used 32mm ID aluminium tube with a 3mm wall thickness for the Primaries.

I had made the primary runners from the plenum to the intake ports with 0.016 alum rolled and covered with fiberglass and epoxy on the outside. Seemed a simple way to go from oval at the port/manifold to round in the plenum. Obviously I completely underestimated the amount of vacuum that the engine can pull or pump. Perhaps if I had added multiple layers of fiberglass ... So I need to use thicker tubing or pipe. Anyone here that can remember the size of tubing they used?
