Bill,
We met with Foundry Works and dropped off the prototype intake and other
required Poly parts for casting measurements and design work on Oct. 14th and we
estimate another 2months before the first manifold is produced; guesstimating
late Feb. 2014 as I am accounting for the Christmas Holiday slowdown. I
communicate daily with Roland Osbourne of Chrysler Power Magazine (the initiator
and impetus of this project) and in weekly conversation with Javier Vasquez, the
engineer/owner of Foundry Works regarding data & design of the new
manifold.
Roland Osbourne has priced the pre-production price of the New Poly Air Gap
Manifold at $399 + 27 shpg.(bolts & gaskets extra) as a “pre-production”
price. The production price be, as I am told, $599 + shpg. which includes
gaskets and bolts. You may place your orders with Roland Osbourne at
Chrysler Power Magazine directly at direct 888.548.2282 or via e-mail at
I have copied and pasted a portion of his AD and e-mail
correspondence to one pre-production inquiry below;
Pre-production prices are $399 + $27 shipping for the first 100 reservations. Final pricing will be $599 + $46 so consider it advantageous to pre-order and be the first on your block to slay some giants with your Poly... Coupled with the 625 Demon AVS carburetor pictured, it will rip your head off from idle all the way thru 6 grand!!! Order today from www.chryslerpower.com or call 888.548.2282, or contact us at PO Box 790, Quinlan, TX 75474. accouterments... meanwhile the foundry is in process of commencing the pattern making process... 10-16 weeks... Pre-production price is $399 + $27 s&h (bolts and gaskets extra)... Production price is $599 + $46 s&h and includes bolts and gaskets... Thanks for your interest! Roland I have my order in and will do all I can to make this a reality by helping
Roland where I can.
Thank you,
Gary Pavlovich

Gary,
When do you anticipate this happening? And how much for a
manifold? From:

Enrique, You are not dreaming,
I have to pinch myself sometimes as well. No, Edelbrock was not interested
when we called them so we did a lot of footwork and visited two foundries in LA
to settle on Foundry Works Inc. They designed & cast the original Bob
Walker HEMI manifold from which we patterned our New Poly Air Gap 4bbl. (with
Bob’s permission and blessings – nice guy!). This foundry is not just a
bunch of guys pouring and making molds; Javier is a lifelong Mopar guy (his
company car is a 1969 Super Bee) and engineer. He also developed and cast
the Arias aluminum HEMI heads and has worked with and for some big name racers
in R&D. His expertise at building the "proper” intake manifold by
considering the required cross-sectional/taper and runner volume to produce the
appropriate intake manifold CFM flow (310-270CFM) for our engines (proper
plenum/runner
pressure throughout the manifold is also critical) made him the
sensible/right choice for this project. Secondly, upon
subsequent phone conversations, he is excited (truly – only a guy with a Mopar
heart can get past the “business” end of things...) to cast a set of High
Perfomance Poly aluminum heads for us! Of course we need to sell enough
intakes to pay for the sizeable cost of that project before we consider casting
New High Performance aluminum Poly heads. I guess the bottom
line is if we can generate enough pre-orders to pay for the Air Gap manifold
project then we (or I...somehow) will launch the High Performance aluminum Poly
heads project. Many of us have been “talking” about an aluminum Poly
manifold for some time and now the “time” has come. Roland Osbourne of
Chrysler Power Magazine is on the hook for this adventure and I am doing what I
can to make sure this manifold project comes to fruition – lots of hours but
then again, I work for free. I don’t see the Poly Air Gap 4bbl. manifold
project as some entrepreneurial deal but merely offering a cost-effective
alternative to the overpriced E-bay Weiand and to provide a truly superior
intake design for all of us “Polyheads.” Our “better half” may not see it
this way, but the joy is in the journey and the fruit of our labor will be smoke
pouring from the wheelwells. Gary

WOW Please tell me I'm
not dreaming, am I reading this correctly? I'm assuming this is
