All that hard work is paying off great man. Looks amazing! What size throttle body? Is it tapered or straight port?

Looks good! Think there will be any problem with heating that oil filter up? Hard to tell how close it is. Any plans for thermal coating?

Glad to see someone put the work in! It is so much more satisfying when you're done.

Everyone with this manifold claims no issues, yes everything is being ceramic coated, and I'll probably but some kind of heat shielding on the oil filter..
