I like your style. But I wouldn't have bothered with doing the intake manifold. Once everything is back under the hood, you can't really see much of the intake at all.
Save yourself some time on the install. Drill the heads of the SR to runner bolts, then put safety wire through them. Tie the left side to the right side. Now the bolts can't move. You can have the bolts bolted in from the top. No cotter pins to mess with underneath and definitely no trying to get a wrench underneath the SR.

Not mine. I was the one who powdercoated and polished it.
Just sayin Both look great.

Hey Reid. I'm trying really hard to picture in my head your explanation of the time-saving trick on the SR runner bolts, but it makes no sense. I'm going to be installing my SR in the near future, and I'll take any tips I can get as far as making the installation easier. How can you have the bolts bolted in from the top when the threads are in the base of the plenum, not the runners? I've actually considered drilling/tapping the runner holes, then using a slightly larger bolt coming down from the plenum into the top of the runners. I'll be damned if I can figure out what you're trying to explain, but I'd sure like to understand your trick if you could explain it a little better.

Have you heard any cons on powdercoating these manifolds? I am specifically referring to the heat being kept in the manifold instead of it being able to cool down faster due to the powdercoating?
[quote=Reid Fleming;4179320]You and I have a yin and yang thing going on.
I like how u have the LID. I'm getting my LID done like yours now..I have the motor out again and I was thinking my SuperRam looked great powder coated but the LID was missing something till I saw yours..
