135043, Aluminum intake manifold flange?
Posted by junkyarddsm, Sep-10-11 06:42 AM
Hello has anyone ever heard of a company that makes the flange for the intake manifold? I looked and searched but no real ads or sales popped up. Im making my own intake and was going to just plasma cut one out of 1/4'' flat plate aluminum but thought I would ask to see if anyone know of a company or a vendor that could sell/ cnc one.

I know cnc stuff is not cheap but you never know a price unless you ask right. Thanks for any help.

i would go with a 1/2 inch flange to avoid warping during the welding process.

Thank you for the like. I am going to contact them on monday to see what they can do for me and a price. I was thinking of going 1/2 but it maybe a bit over kill. Im used to welding on 1/8-1/4 that is why I put 1/4 but 1/2 may not be a bad idea. Thanks again for the information.
