I saw a picture of a L-motor a while ago with what looked like maybe a RB25 RB26 intake manifold....correct me if I am wrong, but I'm interested in doing this so if anybody has any info on this let me know.

nope, the intake flanges are completely different, the rb has a crossflow design so the intake runners are more evenly spaced, the rb head will bolt to an L6 but the oil and coolant passages don't line up, the rb is an evolution of the L series so there are a lot of similarities

Yeah that's what i thought, it's probably just a custom manifold i seen, but it looked so similar to the RB manifold, i'll try to find the picture again

Well I found the pic and it was what looked like a n42 log type mani, with the twin turbo badge on the top....I'm so disappointed in this thread
