To make the intakes, it might be easiest to 3d print some as masters and cast from them (either as patterns, or “lost wax “ type casting). This would give you something close that would just need some machining. It would not be complicated to design and 3d print.

Good idea, but...I have no idea how to 3d print or even create the manifolds on a pc for the 3d printer to print

@@jasonparker333 , ah, slight flaw in my plan! While probably not viable for you for now, look up “Making for motorsport” . Car based channel but he has a video on designing and making an intake manifold

Lost foam is also a gd option u can get dimensional accurate parts and a nice flowing radius in the manifold

@@karlvanboxel561 , there are 3d printing resins designed specifically for lost wax type casting. Mostly for jewelry making. Price is fine for small parts, but not sure for larger parts. There are also filaments for filament printers designed for this.
