Good things are worth waiting for! Have been searching for one of these intakes since learning of their existence about a year ago. I contacted Jim Inglese back then and he said he had a single run of 'about a dozen' of them cast in the '70s......
I have had a set of used Weber 42 DCNF carbs original to a '74 UK spec Aston Martin here since '98 and have considered modifying an Offy 4 carb intake internally to function as an isolated runner intake or possibly modifying a Hilborn FI intake to mount them on my small block engine.
Was contacted by a fellow over at the HAMB a couple of weeks ago and now have an unmachined prototype casting for this intake. Will need to have it machined and work out the distributor clearance issue (Jim was going to use an offset drive distributor) but as you may imagine, I'm happier than a pig in caca to have finally found one.
Hope to begin this project after New Year's and will let y'all know how its coming along. Have baseline jetting worked out. Looking for good quality Weber rebuild kits and a source for jets, air correctors and emulsion tubes for these carbs now.
Best regards,
Harry
