ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable runner length manifold is provided for an internal combustion engine. The continuously variable runner length manifold includes a housing having an inlet port and a plurality of outlet ports defined by a plurality of stacked manifold sections. A plurality of runner members are rotatably mounted within the housing. The runner members include wall portions which combine with the housing to define a plurality of runners in communication with a plenum and a respective one of the outlet ports. The runners have a length which is continuously variable upon rotation of the runner members relative to the housing.
