The V8 Owners Forum -

A nice project. Does make me wonder if there is any way to cross over the intakes and get a straighter air flow.
Would injectors be better closer to the inlet port? I've heard arguments both ways on this.

I really don't think the straight thing matters.

Injector placement perhaps a little, but then single point injection, carbs etc work fine where fuel is introduced far back. Close to the valve probably favours low speed operation, further back high speed

Reality for most, probably makes little difference.

Those injectors are quite far away from cylinder head.

Can the material withstand the expected temperatures permanently?

Material is PA18CF, heat resistance of approximately 180 degrees Celsius.

If your inlet manifold gets that hot, you're probably on fire.

There are many plastic engine parts on modern engines.

ITB fasteners, water hose connector and blanking plate for rear end water hose hole.

That is very sexy!

Looking very good.
