914 Ferrari Build - Episode 27: More manifold-abrication madness!

Martin is back At The Red Barn! In this episode, he and I work together to get the last pieces of the manifold fabbed, fit, mostly welded and test fit back into the 914. Plus, I get going on more mods to the engine lid. But best of all? We get a surprise visit from my wonderful wife!

So COOL!! Thanks for sharing.

[@peterbonnez]

I'm enjoying your build

Great to hear, thanks!

[@IanKarr]

So cool to see how far your channel has come buddy!

[@attheredbarn1669]

Hey Ian! Thanks for the kind words. You were instrumental and an inspiration in helping me commit to doing all this. Thanks much!

@@attheredbarn1669 You're a natural presenter! Can't wait to take a ride in your Porrrari ;)

Great work! Looking forward to the finished product. How do you like that DeWalt bandsaw? I'm looking at getting a similar bandsaw setup and I'm pretty invested in DeWalt, I'd love to know how you like yours!

[@attheredbarn1669]

Thanks! The DeWalt saw is great but what makes it work for me is that SWAG Offroad stand. It works so well (for what I do) that I sold my 14" vertical band saw - I just wasn't using it anymore.

What about reshaping the intake cover a bit rather than previous idea of shortening the runners. Volume would be a bit less but you could find out on dyno latter if it really cost any power.

I like the way the plenums poke through the lid. It's really about preserving trunk space. Thanks for watching and commenting!
