Does anybody have a fully ported intake for sale? Base and trumpets? If not does anybody know who would port one? Thanks.

Jools at kits and classics sells a very nice blended base. Have one on mine for a few years now.

Ah, I should have been more specific.

It's a ported inlet manifold I'm looking for where the tracts are enlarged underneath the base plate. In the past I've seen some which have had a serious amount of work done to them including welding before the porting work's been carried out.

Quite a few people seem to sell the base plates and trumpets but not the actual inlet. Probably because of all the work that needs doing.

Interesting, I had a conversation with them in late September asking about all 3 - enlarged plenum, ported trumpet base and ported inlet manifold and they made no indication they didn't sell them anymore.

TR8 Janspeed Le Mans TT Mick.

Have a pair of TA heads, my crank, custom pistons and H beam rods. A pair of GTX2860R's Gen 2 should help to. The heads flow well on the exhaust but Cosworth say the intake manifolds st or very poor, lol. Customer wants something ported.
