Hello JC Forumer's I am looking for pictures of L67 inlet manifolds for the purpose of drawing so far i have drawn a aus L67 charger, and the us charger as well i have drawn the aus L67 inlet manifold but now am up to the us one and when i search it in Google i only get pics of the one like aus.

So my questions are
1: are they the same inlet manifold? ( I suspect not as the throttle body housing is opposite side)
2: could someone who has a L67 inlet manifold lying around or if you are doing a gasket swap and have one off measure the under side of it top to bottom.

This is for the the purpose of getting a price to fabricate a duel into one for a l98 to see if it's fessable for me to do, For my plan is to put twin L67's both running 20psi plus twin turbo for a drag engine i'd like to build, sofar i have nearly enough for a full internal rebuild kit for the l98 just would need to send block away to be cleaned and honed, and yes i know it would be better to go a twin v8 supercharger/ twin turbo setup but the 6ltr v8 chargers alone are too pricey and the chargers would get negated by the turbo's after the lagg of 30psi, so i would like to go L67 chargers with a 20psi as they are cheaper to fix and to just buy 2nd hand and there's a few around.

Appreciate any thought's and info on this matter i am not going to change my mind on using L67 chargers but would still like to every one who drops by this post's thoughts i am still drawing the us charger but when i finish them i will post them up for every one to see as well.

I happen to have L67 inlet manifold that had a M90 blower on it laying around ATM, as a project to try and repair (remove a broken bolt in it),
We’re you say measure the underside top and bottom, not sure what you mean.
I will take a couple of photos and let me know the area you need measured.

i would like the underside of the inlet manifold measured the part that sits on top of the block just a length not width would be sufficient as i want to measure it compared to a l98 manifold and how much it would need to be lengthened to add the 4th rectangle port to be added to it

The only problem I can see, maybe the Thermostat seat and water jacket could be a problem for the 4th port eitherside.

I will be watching this thread. I'd be interested to see how it works and whether an M90 could be fitted on early V6.
