Well sorry to say, I do not have the skill or capability to weld aluminum at this time. If you need any help in designing it, I do have the ability to make technical drawing that any welding shop will be able to follow.

I would just need to know some dimensions of the aluminum stock your going to use and some of your engine bay dimensions, I do have a stock turbo manifold to get the dims of the runners and bolt holes from. If you want me to help design it send me a pm and I will send you my e-mail for dimensions and pictures.

Good luck.

Ok, sorry for the wait, I have the lower intake manifold. From that I will start building the concept on SolidWorks. I will talk to a few people who have made the FFIM before and ask them on what grade metal and what thicknesses to make it out of. When I get an idea on the metal I will let you know.

By the way, that van looks freaking sweet!

wouldnt it be the same thickness as the runners are on the lower part just curious, and when your able to design it could you make it to wear its as close to the block as possible and where the throttle body would come out where the alternator bolts up, you no in between the 7M-GTE on the time cover and the alternator pulley and it just needs the stuff that is on a factory one and thanks about the van i thought i would build something that hasnt been done before and alot of people love it so thats a good thing well just let me know what i can do to help
