Anyone know anyhting about these http://www.hotrodheaven.com/Html/Ima...s/manifol3.jpg
It looks like its from Mooneyes, but I cant find anything recent on them, I have an email into the website company, but looking for info here. Its the same idea of what i wanted to have a custom manifold made like, so that could save some work and $ if its still around.. ANyone know?

No other info? I have an email into the companies.
Looking for info such as, runner length, diameter, wall thickness, flow, etc.

Oh, uhm I'm not sure avout the moon manifold but the runner size at the carburetor flange is about 45mm. I'm not sure about runner length either because mine is not a moon and it's got slightly different runners.
Wall thickenss? What for? I do know the moon manifold is made from 2 pieces, the base and the runners, they're welded together. You might want to ask ram82fire over in the C3 section, he has the moon manifold.

I'll look for him.

Wall thickness for porting if it doesnt flow.
You have a manifold simular to this? What is it? Pictures?

Thanks

Here's a shot in which you can see my runner size, I can see the intake valves through the runners :)

Thanks! That shows it should work well.. Especially with the Twin Turbos, thats my goal with an intake like that.

Thanks alot for the photos. Now to save up and keep an eye for one.
My plan is to make it an FI intake, run plenums and TB's off each bank (Imagine Viper if you will). With twin turbos feeding each side (shared IC). Not sure on lower end to match with it yet, currently have 383 in the car. Not sure on turbos either, still in planning stages.

P.S. Sorry about the email, I stumbled across your site in search of more info, didnt realize it was the same person :)

I didn't get an email from you I think???

About the FI plan, TWM and luminition make DCOE type throttle bodies that are a direct bolt on, TWM offers them with one or dual injector bosses for each runner, check them out, be prepared for a major jaw drop when you look at the prices though :)
