I glass beaded them and then applied a clear paint that is fuel resistant and good to 350*f.

They came out pretty nice. Now i have to decide if i'm gonna use them or pass them on.

Just so you know, those manifolds will not fit using an OEM VW doghouse shroud without surgery. You have to use a 36hp style shroud.

I'm willing to bet money that they don't since both shrouds are the same width.

Interesting....

I have a 1600 long block and a spare Type 181 shroud hanging around. I could mock it up to see if they fit. I just have to find a IDA to borrow.

If they don't fit, i'll just sell them, since I already have too many parts i'm not using in my house.

There was a shop in N.Y. back in the 80's that made short manifolds that looked like those, and they also had a modular cylinder head setup. Was their name Speed Unlimited? I think the guy moved to Michigan and opened shop there. I had a set of their short 48 ida manifolds in 1982-83, but I just can't be sure that was the companies name.

I just did a motor with a set. Had to go with a 36h shroud to fit. Also crossbar linkage would not work. Berg or bell crank ok.

I have some of these I plan on using, they are just like DDS ones but without the log and the crazy price.   Grin

I am thinking about running an original stale air 40hp shroud ala Sarge.   Only problem is, I want to keep heaters somehow.  Stale air with bigger tubes maybe?

Oh yea!  That's Plows car. It sat in Chuck Fryers garage outside Chicago for a few months and I remember checking it out.  Looks like it works, maybe with a few dents, maybe not.

Why would you prefer to use the short over the manifolds you currently have Glenn?
