Sorry AJ I missed your comment. Yeah I have done quite a few. I just need the standard "drop box" if I can call it that and the length of your shifter and I will make it to suit

So in my case do you think you could make a drop box to suit my vk shifter surround in my vc:
To fit a b&m pro ratchet fit like this?
What price would I be looking at?
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

PM replied.
Over the Xmas break, I got stuck into teaching myself how to so some 3D drawing and here is what I come up with.
1 - Custom engine mounts to suit a CA18 in a 1200 ute
2 - RB25/26 exhaust manifold flange with transistion from port shape to ID of steam pipe bends
There is plenty more to come.....one of them is aluminium RB30 sumps and other is power steering pump relocation bracket. Just waiting to get a spare block and the drawings will begin ;)
Keep posted,
Ariel

What price will you do the rb25 exhaust flanges for, also very interested about the alloy rb30 sump about time some one started making them. Will they be larger capacity cast alloy? Would also be nice if they had a bung location with enough meat at the front for the rb25/30 oil return instead of having to tee back into the Turbo oil drain.

I am actually just waiting on a price at the moment. Would you like the one with the transistion or without ie keeping the port shape on both faces?
The sump will be a sheetmetal one, since I will be making them on a one by one basis at the start. The things I am going to include so far are:
- larger capacity
- gated and baffled
- oil return on drivers side (one from rear of head for 26 twin cams) which can be used for catch can overflow. Having it located on the drivers side stops the reversion of the gases due to the crank rotation
- and a meaty bung for the drain ;)

Ok, just one more question, do you want it to suit both 25 and 26 in case you upgrade heads....also makes it easier to sell. no difference in price.
They are getting cut tomorrow.

no worries. I will have some prices tomorrow morning. I will get some cut regardless, because I have a few manifolds to make
