  • Chris,

    It looks like you have enough room to stick on a 135 degree silicon coupling or maybe a 90 degree one and clear it without issues?

      exactly, round runners into square ports is a bad idea.

      • I'll be looking for the millenia manifold so i have the curve neck with the proper runners so i don't lose any power and can still clear the brake master

        I tried tig welding the mazda valve cover and just made a mess of it, so i'll be using the ford cover

        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        • This might work for you on the intake...

              this is a great idea if you want to keep a smooth-flowing intake tract by avoiding a crazy 90* coupler.

              Just mount the reservoir higher than the master cyl.

              Thats a good site Nickb, its hard to find odd couplers.

                    And now you have this. What do you think now ?

                          The BP swap is still the easiest with the most power N/A swap, the V6 Swap is a LOT more involved :lol: but it will be much better than a BP

                            no no no... you start counting at 1 not zero, its the last year of the decade... I hate that everyone screws that up...

                                actually, you have that backwards... you normally don't count 0, but since in this case 0 is a year (eg 2000), it must be counted. 2000-2009 is 10 years, even though it doesn't appear that way. remember, there was a year 0 and not just two 1s (BC and AD)

                                So, for about the same price as a fully-loaded 1993 Ford Festiva, you could also wield the power to obliterate a small village in the blink of an eye.
