The left fitting is fuel inlet, the 4 in the center are for the carbs and the one on the right is a fuel return line to the tank.

Not sure yet Ron. I still need to come up with the money to get my carbs back form the shop and need to plumb everything still. My goal is to have it running and tested @ Twin Palms before Fathers day weekend.

I was wondering the same thing...

I read up on a jet boat engine build several months ago where the guy ran NOS but plumed it all under the tunnel ram where you couldent see it. It was sneaky. Anyone out there have any info on that?

My very first jet boat had a tunnel ram that was plumed for NOS that way. They had drilled 4 holes in the back by the distributor for the lines going into the valley of thr motor. Then they machined a block that was bolted across the valley of the manifold that the lines went into and then had 8 lines coming out of it and into each backside of the intake runners. Pretty trick

You cant tell to good in the pic of the motor but there is a plate I made that bolts to the top of the intake that mounts my fuel log. It is not actually the manifold its self that the blue fittins are going into
