are there diffrent models of the mini ram. I bought one from one of the members last night. and it looks different from the one on tpis. the one on tpis has a gap between the runners the one i have is filled in. Can some one help me and where can i get the fuel rails for this model? I have pic just don't know how to post them?
anybody?

 

They do have a few, standard 1204 gasket, for 1205 gasket, for 1206, and MRIII for fast burn heads.(mini I is disc. I think). If it is an earlier one it would not have 4 vac.ports. I have not seen a solid version like an LT intake, I think the earlier MR I was seperated from the base but could only be seen through the front of the intake.
Fuel rails w/regulator is pn. 500-504 (295.) complete for a vette is pn. 500-507 (335.). You would also need a water neck from them because of the angle from the intake. TPIS is the only source I know of for their parts.

Looks like an MR I
The only thought I would have is what gasket was it cut for, and what you will need to have for vacuum provisions (brakes, pcv, map, mat etc. depending on year)
I don't think it would be a problem adding vacuum sources on it, but lining it up w/a 1204 (if that is what you are using) would be important.
You can call TPIS 952-448-6021, to get additional parts pricing etc. or check their web site.

 

thanks for all the help on monday i will give them a call. what's a good price for the intake? I payed 350.00 for and it's been Powder coaded grey. i going with the lt4 hot cam, 1.6 rocker arms, stock heads are out being worked on puting .202 intakes on them. you think this will be a good set up? how much power do you think? I plan on going with a super charge later and a 383 short block.

 

That's a good price, I believe I have about 1200 into mine complete w/port match etc. (powder coating was extra). You can see some pics. in 'my vette photos", I don't have anything negative to say and I have a similar combo that I am happy with.

Regarding HP, It's hard to say, don't know what heads you have (113?). You will need to get some good flow numbers out of the heads to support the cam /set-up. With some good porting (cnc'd programs like TPIS, or other known good porters Bob's, L.Elliot etc.) that can be a good combination and be capable of seeing around 330ish rwhp. Providing, what gets done to the heads and good exhaust etc. to compliment the set-up.

In your case I believe the heads would be the place for consideration. Usually most choose an aftermarket head, due to the cost of porting stock castings, and because a stock head even with it being ported out will only see flow numbers around 230ish @500. IN. (if I remember right) At that point, for a bit more dough you can buy complete brand new bolt ons, ported, w/valves, springs etc. that have much better flow numbers, that would support that cam/combo better. A good set of heads could then carry over into your 383 build. Hope this helps

 

very good information thank you.

 

Don't quote this as the gospel (CFI, I am not taking your forum name in vain (GOD knows I wouldn't do that) either, so don't kill me for throwing this out.) Is the MR1 for the earlier head bolt pattern and the MR2 for the later head bolt pattern?

I sit here shaking in fear of retribution if my question is wrong.

 

Yeah I liked the "in vain" part....
That's a good question, according to the TPIS catalog (never asked them myself) they state the only diff. between the MR I and MR II (W/1204 gasket) is supposed to be that "they cleaned up the casting amd added additional vacuum sources".
Since I don't own an MR I or earlier heads, I can't say if it uses the 1204, that along w/possible porting on the intake is why I originally stated that he should do some gasket matching (mock it up) to assure the set-up before he gets there and finds out different.

Johnwayne, when you call them make sure you specify that yours is an MR I (or verify, this along with differences, fitment to heads etc.) so that you get the correct fuel rails, reg. and lines. The numbers I first posted (listed as MR II replacement parts) was without the rest of the info you provided. The fuel lines will be different from the mr ii, as that intake cannot use the stainless ones they sell for the MR II (water neck should be the same). Keep us posted.

 

thanks.
