John Marcella does.


It's finally done! Me and this manifold were in a fight, I got a black eye and a fat lip, but in the end I whipped it's ass!
It originally started as a D3 casting, but it is now a SBC buick manifold that is set up for a 4500 carb with sheer plate.

Why would someone want to do that? I feel like sbc technology is far superior then Buick tech and way cheaper

buick heads were directly responsible for the symetrical port layout of the bbc (bbc was also splayed) than olds/pont heads and its been shown time and time again that even and consistent airflow between cylinders increases reliability and power balance...which is essentially "free" power and reliability with just a change in design
its one of the reasons that god gave us the lsx :jg:

this dude is probably just nuts...:rofl:

someday i will complete my SI/SII hybrid 3800...then you can lump me in with the other nutjobs....at least as a gearhead...you can say no one in the world has one like it :fy:

john marcella is a tig god. the man is very gifted, he makes some of THE best intakes on the planet . They look great AND perform. John beck (beck intake manifolds) is on the same level performance wise, but no one tops marcella for aesthetics. One day I will have him create some artwork for me.
