No one makes a manifold for the SOHC CA so I made one myself. I ARC welded it so it's not a pretty as a TIG welded manifold would have been but I think it turned out. It still needs to be coated and cleaned up a bit.

I'm going to see how much the stock 20+ year engine can take. I have another engine I'm rebuilding with DET forged internals.

I know a guy that could weld a soda can to a concrete block he's so skilled, why would I do it myself? I welded a few times and yikes, I suck!
