I'll try to put something together but it's pretty straight forward, find a metal supplier and price up some elbows and steam pipe. Gather some prices on flanges, calculate approximate lengths of welds which will give you your consumables and welding time. Calculate your prep & paint time (my manifolds are yet to be done) or price up you ceramic coating. Add 20% on top and you'd be around what it costs.

It is a smaller DCOF sidedraught. Baby brother to the DCOE.

The turbo is a t25 from a CA I think? I cannot be sure.

nice work there

$30 for a Weber DCOE is a very good bargain

What is the turbo from?

Are they fence post caps on the ends of the plenum?

I like your style :)

Thank you, this fits into a 1200 engine bay, there is some work required to reroute the water lines but it clears quite well. I would not have to cut the water pipe so short on the taller a series block but the shorter stroke brings the manifold lower.

Top work there.
Have you done measurements to see if she fits in the engine bay?
A good DIY job is great to look at and get the mind ticking. Looking forward to you posting a vid or pictures of the install

Yeah I agree the plenum can be smaller.

Here is how the adapter looks:

Looks really neat all round
plenum might be a bit big

Looks like a single Downdraft Stromberg with one of these filters
can also fit with heaps of room left over.

This is grouse!
Nice pick up L18, some good info!

Would you put prices on all of the DIY stuff Chris? Roughly, just out of curiosity, I have some idea but I'd be interested to see a total build cost from scratch!

Nice work, will this be going into a car, is sow what?
