Any info or advice would be appreciated

Matt,
The runners are approx 7" from the back of the valve to the lip of the bellmouth.
You can just see the link tube, -10, at the back of the plenums in this picture.
Jonathan,
Rob at V8D sold me the heads, he explained at the time how the intake should be designed which i have stuck to it as near as i could.

Finished the air filter housing pipework install today. Very pleased with it
Just got to tweak the mapping. There's a guy local to me that knows a lot about mapping Motec ECUs apparently so I am going to contact him to see what he can do for mine. Then get the geo set up professionally and I'm done.
By the way, I can't believe nobody wants my old inlet manifold and twin plenum setup, it was the nuts. Have to sell it cos it won't fit my new heads

Need a bit of advice: I now have an oil catch tank instead of venting the crankcase into the inlet but the little foam filter at the back of the nearside rocker cover is pushing out a little bit of oil. I can pipe this into the catch tank as well but will this cause any problems?
I realise that I probably have positive crankcase pressure now instead of negative as before but will this cause any damage to seals or gaskets?
Thanks Andy

Was thinking about a set of F85 heads but in the end went with the V8D stage IV heads.

Compared to your Wildcat heads, yes no contest. Not even in the same league I'm afraid, but to be fair, the V8D heads weren't in the same price bracket either.
By my crude measurement mine are 50mm and 42mm.Apologies all, feels like this is turning into a "mines bigger than yours" contest!

Hi All
Been a veiwer and a Chim owner for many years but never posted. So here goes. If Else still looks at this post can you tell me where you got the alloy pipe made up for the twin plenum set-up? Its just what I've been after for my set-up on the Chim. Or failing that if anybody knows of a good fabricator to copy whats in the pic on this post, please let me know.
Welcome Mate. The guys at ProAlloy did it, top blokes Google it, theyre based in Haverhill Suffolk.Been a veiwer and a Chim owner for many years but never posted. So here goes.
