Default Intake setup question

Im planning on building an all motor 318 that i plan on revving hard , and I would like to run ITB`s (Indivdual Throttle Bodys per cylander.) My question is , is there any setup already premade for the magnum/La motors, or am i going to have to fab this custom. Any help will be apperciated.

My reason for using a 318 is to use a shorter stroke with a high rpm camshaft to reach high rpms.

Im not looking at making the best of the best, just something unique , and since i have a brand new 318 block , might as well use what I got. The truck is mostly for show , but when it will be used , i want to push the limits.

ITB`s if anyone doesnt know made for high rpm motors, They offer greater airflow because there is no intake manifold , just a small TB for each cylander.

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/attach...hread-itb3.jpg , LS1 ITB setup , I was hopeing on makeing a setup very similar to that. if there is none avalible.

The air gap is a brand new item for our engines, and the few that have it here rate it very highly.

I'm not aware of any ITB setup for any Magnum engine.

The airgap is like the mopar m1 manifold, they are good manifolds , but thats not really the setup im drooling over , so to speak. thanks for the responses, I guess ill have to design something then.

The air gap supposedly outdoes the M1, but you're right, its not what you were looking for.

Keep us informed, sounds like an interesting idea.

try this:

Scroll down to accessories and check out the 6 barrel for EFI. That's the closest I've ever seen.

thanks squirrels , thats close , but no cigar. Thats a crap load of money as well, 3,000...... I think its off to the drawing boards , anyone know where i can get a specification on basicly , how long head is , port sizes , bolt locations.... you know a blueprint / schematic. Im going to try and design something in AutoCad that can bolt up to our heads.

that would be something you would probably have to get from a manufacturer...either that or draw up your own measurements.
