Some pictures of my painted intake manifolds. I chosed a red and black theme. If you got it, flaunt it. Which explains the red pipes, all 12 of them. The intake manifold are really special, they are 2 seperate interlocking pieces.

But what’s also interesting is, they are 2 exact same pieces, just reversed, and!, the right intake manifold will supply air to the left bank of the 6 cylinders and the right manifold to the left cylinder bank! There’s still some work left to be done.

I used a can of black truck bedliner spray to lay the base with a good and strong rough finish. Then i masked the plenums to do the red ribs with an enamel red spray can. I then removed the masking and topped it with a can of clear flat spray since i couldn’t find any flat enamel red.

The lighting was poor and yellow so the pictures don’t really do justice..

I will sand the embossed parts of the black plenum when it’s ready to be put on. When everything is in, the red ribs will stand out like nothing else!

The next few updates will be my:

1. Custom exhaust manifolds
2. Electric radiator fan (either a used Mercedes one or a new aftermarket performance unit)
3. Radiator (i might get a new all-aluminium performance unit of just re-use my M20 radiator)
4. Other stuff i forgot to mention
