3800 Looking for someone to port a manifold...

[imported_Theautoguy]

Just as the title says.

I had the opportunity to get a look at a set of manifolds off from a car and was floored by how much more restrictive the front manifold looks compared to the rear piece. So, I'm looking for someone who has some experience and spare time to weld and port a front manifold. I can ship it wherever and have it picked up too. I can even ship out any needed grinding dies from the Grainger catalog or from the web site for free.

You can respond here, PM me or e-mail me at [email protected] with questions, prices and availability.

Did I mention that I'm not looking for a freebe. I'll pay a fare price for good work.

Price it out for just the front manifold and then both front and back manifolds.

PM zeezgtp, he was thinking of doing this.

ive ported out the front mani, but will not weld any more metel in, just open it up as far in as you can. Gasket matched, plus.

worked very well for me till I got real headers.


pm me, I can do it for like 20 bux, or something.

I agree with Johnny. I find no need to weld more material into the manifold. If you can get rid of the casting marks on the floor and have a nice smooth D port, you should be good to go.

Syp, who ported the manifolds that GTP PWR got from you? They seem well done?

Hey Don,

I think you need to look at my manifold that I just pulled off my car. looks a BIT better flowing than the one I brought over. I put the ported front on tonight. my old one.....looks like it is bran new...no chips out of anything. looks really good. completely different than that other one.

Swing by around 7:00 and bring the ported rear unit. I'm going to track down someone who can hot-tank them to port and coat.

Did you scan after the install?

 

[imported_Theautoguy]

Cool, you've been p/m'ed.

It kncoked 1-1.5kr off. I work until 8pm today...I'll call ya before I come over. I am also having soo much fun with the snow tires on the front.....the rear just swings out so easily.

Cool, I can't wait to replace the front one now...if I can only get it done. I'm having the manifolds and crossover sandblasted now and would like to ship the front piece to someone as soon as I get it back. So, anyone? Cool, Ron, anyone who wants a few extra bucks for Superbowl Sunday...the next major holiday as I see it.
