ABSTRACT:
An improved in intake manifold for a carbureted, vee type of internal combustion engine is comprised of at least two members, a fuel-oxidizer flow member and an isolator member. The flow member is removably connected to the isolator member. The isolator member is connected at a bottom surface to a vee valley of the internal combustion engine formed between opposing banks of cylinders. In a preferred embodiment, the flow member is sealingly split along a longitudinal axis of the engine. The isolation member isolates the flow member from the environment existing in the vee valley while sealing the vee valley. Engine coolant passages and a distributor shaft opening are provided within the isolator. Changing the flow member is accomplished without disturbing the vee valley sealing, the distributor setting, nor the engine cooling conduits.
