Can anyone tell me if the runners of the 951 manifold are level at the point where I drew the green line? Like, if I were to cut a manifold down that line on a bandsaw, would the runners all be lined up like o-o-o-o? or are they kinda curved like the NA?

Let me check.

well in relation to the flange no they slop downward toward the front so the intire thing clears the bonnet .

Ian Carr

get a micrometer and see if the width of the runners is the same as the height. if not, they are oblong.

V2Rocket

well that is pretty much a perfect picture. how much of a slope is that, like how much drop is there between the rear runner height and the front?

doug thanks for the tag

Dougs951

That was as close as relative level as I could get with a screwdriver at the moment.

#2 runner seems to be the problem child.

Oh and Np. Fbook is the easiest way to upload camera phone pics.

blue tooth or some times a micro SD to SD adaptor and perhaps SD/usb adaptor ...
there must be a a way to send that strait to a photo book like thing online ...

the dimension marked in red is about 40mm i just measured ..

Spencer, you would be better off using/cutting an NA manifold, IMO.

new question:

whats the hood clearance like on the 951 manifold/fuel rail? like how much airspace is there between them? if anyone has a few minutes to spare and some playdoh or something to check this id appreciate it

Rogue_Ant

I measured some time ago - don't really remember exact, but it was probably about 2-3"... A decent amount.

so theres well over an inch of clearance between the manifold/rail and the hood?

You can see the space between my strut bar and my intake... the strut bar JUST kisses the hood center support right now!



BTW the bar is 1/8 inch think, and about 1-2 inches off the intake, BUT the engine does move as my fuel pressure damper has also kissed my strut bar...

V2Rocket

thanks john thats very helpful. how old are your motor mounts btw? i dont think the motor should move THAT much

JohnKoaWood

Dunno, but just sitting the damper is maybe 1/16 of an inch off the bar... on the outside of the distance....

it is close... see my pic below, you can see where the bracket has hit the bar...

if things work out the engine will be gone and replace with a new one in the coming months, and more than likely solid mounts at the same time!
