I can build you an intake I just need to know the dimensions I'm going to need to work with
When you say a stock 5.7 intake. Are u saying it would not fit?? And if not by how much

I'm surprised that there is such a lack of manifold choices at this point for Gen 3. Will see if made in the USA is even possible, but making no commitment to that for now. Will be very nice and not $4800 like the other billet offering.
They are the future of our Mopar hot rods.
The lack of options has to do with the lack of market, but as more and more Cars and older body Swaps happen the more the market will open up. Truck guys are limited to options because of Cab over hang into the engine bay. Height is the big issue on after market intakes...but I have faith in you guys. A taller deck block would be nice down the road, but the width of the G3 will hinder that

Is the overall height going to be taller than the 6.1 intake?
Never mind, I just went back up and saw that it will mimic the height of the 6.1.

Looking good, Looking forward to seeing the end product

How are you determining the runner length, taper, plenum volume, etc.? We be edumicated. A little Looks cool, what is the reason for having no taper in the runners?

Just curious, why is there a deep tapered belly below the inlet of the runners? All intakes that I have seen have plenum above the inlet of the runners? Am I missing something here? Not criticizing, just learning. Keep at it. Thanks

Im gonna guess the plenum is like that so the throttle body can go in the stock location

I just don't see why everyone is stuck on tapering the runners jerry

I just don't see why everyone is stuck on tapering the runners jerry Google "intake runner taper" or even "efi intake runner taper" and you'll get quite a few links to discussions on the subject. Long story short, the three basic tuning parameters of an intake manifold are runner length, runner taper, and plenum volume.

I just don't see why everyone is stuck on tapering the runners jerry not knocking your build, but I've spent a fair amount of time researching and running design simulations on various intake designs and have cnc machined some runners for viper engines over the years. I applaud your effort in trying something new and I hope it works out well. just giving an opinion that the runners seem to too tall and straight and there isn't enough plenum above them to draw air straight it. maybe its the angle of the pic. its also the reason the factory runs curved runners. its easier to package length in an arc. obviously not so easy to do in a weldment with a one off like you're doing. also tapering the runners add a "ram" effect to the incoming air. as air is pushed through progressively smaller openings its sped up and this aids in fuel mixing. if you have a pipe like you;ve built you create a laminar edge along the surface of the runner of slow moving air. having a taper minimizes this. also you create a step at the head as the shape of the port changes, this creates an orifice which also creates a pressure drop. lots of engineering hours go into designing these things for optimum use. however there are always compromises, some of them are available materials so you build the best you can. again I applaud your work. I hope it works well. if you'd like more info i'd be happy to help.
