    M50 Aluminum Intake Manifold Flanges

    well, Im wanting to make my own intake mani now that i have MS. Buuuut I have exhausted my search trying to find these flanges.

    Ive checked all posts that included these flanges and no one seems to have or make them anymore. I found some overseas but they dont have o-ring machined grooves.


    Anyone?

      I don't get it. What exactly are you trying to do? fab your own aluminum intake manifold for an M50?

          cut the plastic flange off a junkyard manifold and take it to a machine shop?

            This^ buy aluminum in whatever thickness you want and take it to a shop and have it water jet cut or lazer cut. Having it machined would be expensive because of machine run time.

                      thank you. i looked there and only saw 24v exhaust manifold flanges. didn't see anything for intake in my search. i did pm him though.

                              Cast? Adapter plate? WTF are you talking about?



                              Flanges like that are really simple to make. You'd either need to give a shop a .dxf from a model you've made, give them details (dimensions) of what you want, or give them something that they can measure and reproduce in AL. They can laser that shit really easily.
