There 'ya go! CNC mill a couple of offset (angled) adaptors for the end and a straight one in the center. Then you could also open up and angle the existing plenums in the manifold. Sort of a poor man's high rise/tunnel ram.

Pontiac 389 GTO fans..... I don't remember.... did they have vacuum secondaries??
No
Correct! My '66 389 w/six-pack came off the showroom floor new with mechanical secondaries. One more car I wish I would have kept.......

Tom,

Ok, I guess they are too large to send that way. I will send them in a word document. Hopefully you have Word.

Ron... the free hotmail account is limited, but the other account I sent to you is unlimited.

I have Word either way.

I also have pics (not digital) for the correct hose routing but I have 7 house guests at the moment so I'm sorta busy and I can't locate/scan them until next week.

Maybe the above pic will get fixed.... maybe it's of the hoses?

Sorry Tom. Don't mean to be a pest. I sent the word document yesterday afternoon. Whenever you get a chance to get back to me is fine.
