Anyone need an intake manifold?

[garibaldi]

I have from an early 964, the intake manifold, it the aluminum style, not the plastic runners. Anyone need it????

Maybe..... could you fab up some adapters to fit it on a 3.2??

Yes, you can send it to me.....

Just bought 3.2 manifolds for my 3.0. Early 964 manifold would have been nice.

Jeff,
I looked into this some and I thought I'd share what I discovered:
* Unlike the 3.2 manifolds, the 3.6 manifolds have a seperate injector block that bolts to the head. A rubber sleeve connects each the injector block to the manifold.
* I bought a plastic intake manifold a while back and the didn't come with the part (injector block) that bolts to the heads. Technically I guess it isn't part of the manifold.
* The 964 parts that bolt to the heads have a different bolt pattern than the 3.2. The 964 has 3 6mm studs vs the 3.2's 2 8mm studs. A couple of places make adapters (for around $300 a set) that convert from 3.6 ot 3.2.
* If I use the 3.6 manifold on my 3.4 I think I'll have injector blocks with the 3.2 bolt spacing made up. Paging Mr Garibaldi...

Very nice! I wonder what 600 Euros is in American $.
I wonder it there would be a market for these if you had some castings made.

according to xe.net $723. youch.

But here's a (possibly stupid) idea: If your 3.2 based engine still has 40mm intake ports, why wouldn't you cut off the ends of your 3.2 manifold and connect them with the rubber tubes to the 964 manifold?

Andy, I think you could sell the 3.2 intake and the proceedes could go to the intakes. Yikes on the price though, castings should be way cheaper if one were to make them.

Chris, thanks for your input. I too was thinking for a future 3.4 upgrade.
What about Andy's idea?? Seems like it might work.

Andy's idea would work I think. It would have a smaller inside diameter than the 964 intake. I think the 3.2 intake would sell for a couple of hundred $ without injection so one would have to weigh just selling it against modifying it.

Hmmm, good point about the price. This is going to require more thinking.
