Thanks Eddie.
Thanks for buying them in the first place, thanks for storing them & thanks for releasing them into the market when you did. The timing was really good & yes, I knew it was your auction & wondered why you were releasing them. Now we know.
Benny & I had tried hard to source some a little while back, but even going through Japan, using a back door to the domestic parts system drew a blank. All we got was NLA. NLA. NLA.

Trust me whan I say that I thought about the manifold & how to make it work on a street engine, but in the end it needs intake trumpets without filtration to look right & work as it was designed to work.
Australia is one of the dustier countries on the planet & I have absolutely no desire to see my expensive engine chewed up just so I can go deaf with induction roar & for the occasional 'wow' when the bonnet is opened, so I passed on it.

It was also considered for a race engine [not mine] that's currently in development, but the Portugese buyer was more determined than we could afford to be.
