1/4" shouldn't be a problem at all, but I can't say 100% for certain without trying it. If anything though, you would first run into clearance issues on the drivers side of the throttle body, coming into contact with the line on the side of the brake fluid reservoir. A small little tweak to that line would clear up any space you might need.

All other clearances would be fine when adding the spacer.
 
4 preorder spots left as of right now. I will continue to accept deposits on those pieces until batch 1 is complete and starts shipping, or all 20 spots are spoken for..
 
Honestly I wouldn't run the spacer with this manifold, it's already been designed for a proper runner-length/plenum-size ratio...you'd be effecting those calculations and I would assume that you could negatively effect the power gains? any thoughts rich?

I was thinking the same thing. I running a spacer with the 626 IM but I plan on ditching it when I get this manifold. Man, I can't wait - my engine bay keeps getting better and better.
 
That is a good point, I never thought of that.

I can't for all these used 626 Mani's to flood the market. How much you selling your for?

If it was much thicker, sure, but 1/4" aint gonna hurt anything.
 
Damnit, stop bumping the thread! I keep seeing "New Posts" and enter the thread expecting to see awesome updates from Rich but yet it's another two word response to a joke made several days ago. Sheesh!

LOL...
 
I picked up 62 runners today. The other 14 will be here Monday, along with the EGR block material and vac block material. Boxes, packing material, fittings, and hose will all be ordered Thursday or Friday. I will be getting started on pressing the runners over the weekend.

The first 3 manifolds were dropped off to get powdercoated today. I could not anodize these ones because of the welding rod that was used on them. I will be picking them up early next week.

As always, I'll update again when I have some more news. And once again, thank you guys for being so patient and cool, this continues to be a fun project for me because of that. (rockon)
 
+1. I realise that you have prolly haven't designed the intake manifold for N/A applications, but as djarkitek said it would be nice to see if there are any potential N/A gains to be had with this manifold.

Would you be able to say that it might be useful for N/A? Are you going to do some N/A testing to see if there is any benefit?

how much are you asking for the manifold
