Sorry guys I have been busy and have had limited computer access. There is a rear bolt hole for all intakes, this pictured intake was a prototype intake that was changed. (Isnt that why we do prototyping?) Our tooling guy assures us it isnt required for this intake, but put it in there anyway.
As you can see with the picture of the RA-V head picture, RA-Vs intake bolts are different. They have no bolt hole in front of the front intake port like a traditional Pontiac(Ports too big). I have asked my tooling guy to add as much material to the front in that area to run a small bolt into the head if they wish to add one themselves. Yes we previously added two extra bolt holes to the center area if so desired.
Cross overs will be separate. This allows us to do the Reverse Cooling or traditional Pontiac cooling as our customers wish. It also allows flexibility of using a stock intake on our heads.
We have done as much as we can to make these interchangeable with the OEM stuff as possible while also adding the new technology to the new head(raising the ports). We aren't perfect and we appreciate everyone's input. It keeps us on our toes!
All questions and points appreciated!
