Hi 427sohc,
Do you really have a SOHC? If you do, you’re a lucky man. Always wanted one. Anyway, The 4.6 project started out with the engine having a single Barry Grant carb with a custom intake. The stack idea came up over a couple of drinks while trying figure out how to get more "Wow" factor built into the car. We really want this to be a great show car. I talked to the company that builds our engines about looking around for a manifold hat would work for the project. We found one company that did have a 4.6 stack intake, but after reviewing pricing and design we felt it was better to go custom and do our own. The owner of MBR, our engine guys, is a very talented fabricator; he set off designing and building a new stack system specifically for the 4.6 DOHC in July. It took two months just to fabricate the intake. It is very well designed and has tons of custom parts. He will build these systems for our customers, but they must be placed with engine orders.
Ozite is used for many things. You can find it in some car trunk interiors or on high end speaker boxes. It's really strong, comes in a lot of colors and looks trick.
