port and polished heads, need some opinoins

[almostclueless]

Thats a pretty absurd question..... I've never seen an intake that didn't have one runner per cylinder, up to the plenum where everything is connected together, and has to be so the MAF can measure total engine flow and average things out (or a single carb which is cheapest can connect to every cylinder).


Plus in a V type engine layout the valley has to be covered, so a single casting that serves both as a valley cover and an intake system and installs pretty quickly makes good financial sense.

okay so i have been working oncars all my life even in a few shops.
and to this day i stii cant get a proper tecnical answer (how about you guys)
with all the technology why cant we have intake headers one tube for each port just think inch and a half tube forced air it would look just like a reverse exhaust header

either way when you guys laugh at this idea just remember they laughed at eddison tooo
lol

Actually if you look at an intake manifold for a 5.4L it looks alot like that. A big spider sitting on top of the engine.

manufacturers have been doing that for a looooooong time.

check out a mustang GT40 intake.

or a cobra intake, which internally is a tubular intake similar to the gt40

SHO 3.0. that intake is usually called the "nest of snakes". it is so well tuned it actually achieves better than 100% VE at certain RPM.
