I believe Dr. Freud wrote about this. -
The beauty of that manifold is that the lower center bolt does not need to pass through the vacuum chamber in the manifold.

I'd like to see the guy that can whip up 5/16 x 20 slotted hex nuts in a jiffy! By the way 3/8 x 20 fasteners are available as "British Standard Fine". These are available here in the US for British cars. Or you could pick up some hex stock and have the shop make them for you instead. The BSF slotted and castle nuts are peachy. -

My experience suggests that the lathes must have been set up for twenty threads per inch for all sizes. 5/16 X 20 bolts or nuts are not available but M8 1.25 generally works. I tweak the "new part" (bolt or nut being M8 1.25) with a proper 5/16 x 20 tap or die to synchronize the threads to the extent that they are not identical. -
That is spectacular! So much work to design and implement successfully. Fantastic

Wow, tell me about that intake manifold! Did you pattern and cast that to accommodate what appears to be a Rayfield carbie? Impressive thing indeed. If so can I borrow the pattern?
