We were originally going to run a low rise supercharger on our 62 Vette but couldn't go past one of these Katicore manifolds when we saw one on a  trade stand.

The airboxes are custom made out of fibreglass with a pair of tops off original c1 alloy valve covers molded in to give the finned top with the correct "Corvette" style lettering. They sit on a polished stainless base o-ringed to the trumpets. All one off custom.

Heres the manifold after we polished it, but before we put it on the motor.

Even if you don't have one for your car, I'd be tempted to buy one for the coffee table or display cabinet. :spook:spook:spook
