Default Jeep 4.0L turbo manifolds complete

this manifold started in my basement. i hacked up a stock manifold for the flange, and mig welded a bunch of 1.5" sched 10 els and tees together. about 5 hours of fab time and $150 later, i learned the hard way that the bolts for the manifold wont clear the weld around the 1.5" els. around the same time bryson PMed me w/ thoughts of a 1.25" sched 40 log manifold. so i sent him mine for some fitment tests, and with alot of late nights IMing each other, we decided that using 1.25" for the 6 main runners, and stepping up to the 1.5" for the els and the tees in the log. bryson had the great idea of using the box tubing to offset the outlet flange. his great fabbing ability and tig skill finished this manifold up with excelent quality. once i get it all tested on my stroker motor they will be forsale, and I'm proud to say that I will be the first official retailer of the manifolds, and Rock Kustoms will be offering complete (but 100% custom) kits based off of bryson's manifolds. the kits will be using megasquirt II v3.0 that we will be assembling, t3 and t3/t4 turbos, accel injectors and much more. I have no idea on pricing, and im not a vendor yet so i cant say much more. anyway heres the pics.

the head flange? thats how the factory ones are, kinda stupid, only 2 bolt holes, the other 8 spots share bolts w/ the intake, and are clamped on w/ washers lol
