97251, thought i found a manifold solution.

sigh. I came across a srt4 manifold on ebay...and i realized how close the gasket, runners, and bolt/stud holes are to the 420a..
i knew the intake was the exhaust side of the engine. but i failed to realize the manifold bolt pattern is flipped as well. major bummer. check it out. just thought id share.

now that i keep looking at it it seems the intake runners are spaced wider, maybe its the picture angle

So did you buy it? If you did that sucks man, you should have done some research about that. It has been covered before on here because I remember reading about it.

That manifold may look nice but its more than likely the same performance wise as all the log style manifolds you see out there. If it is *any* better it's minute at the most. All 4 runners have different lengths and they all come into the collector at wierd angles.

Actually taking the time to look at it... you are correct sir. That and about the flange being inverted...interesting.
