I like the way it looks. I guess if I had my head off and the extra cash, I would have my head machined for it. Can you find a price for it? I looked briefly and didnt see it anywhere.
Although a custom fabricated intake with 6 individual runners like the pro stock tractors run would be very cool. I believe at my modest power levels there wouldnt be a lot of power to be made from it, but it would look cool for sure!

ZZ Fab makes them and it probably is $1000 by the time you machine off the intake trough and drill and tap the head. The manifold by itself is something close to $6 bills if I remember right and it can include a nitrous and/or water spray bar for each runner. KS

I guess their pricing went to retail...I had priced just a plain jane flat plate model and back then dealer cost was $650 and each spray bar was $150 plus more $ for powdercoat but it was not like the original in Greg Hogues truck....It was $1500. KS

If that price is true, it might be worth looking into. You figure 350 or so just for a horn so that price is somewhat reasonable. I wonder if it comes with instructions for the machinist to cut and tap the holes in the correct places?

I was just kinda curious about it, to see for myself how involved it was. If I ever did decide to go that route, I would probably have to ship my head to a competent machinist.
