All good points and ideas.
Especially James Hupy's detailed dissertation on the install.
Honestly, I'm getting more feed back on the negatives vs the good. And there seems to be more people wanting to sell their used aluminum manifolds than used steel manifolds.
The aluminum manifold seems to be less "forgiving" if not installed perfectly, and installing while leaning over the engine Hatch is not a perfect situation.
So all in all the new aluminum low profile manifolds and not patterned exactly as the original manifolds..
Maybe the best option is just to fill the crossover ports and also use the block off plates and stay with the steel manifold.
Thanks, Scott.
