Can anybody tell me if anyone has ever made a 1/25 scale Mopar rat roaster intake manifold? As seen in the picture.

Two good (but expired) sources that I know of: the old Ross Gibson Rat Roaster Hemi engine, and what I think is a recast of the Gibson piece done by an eBay seller out of Tennessee several years ago. Neither are currently produced. 

I don’t think this exact intake was ever offered in a plastic kit. 

The Ross Gibson engine is an entire engine kit (one of about a dozen or more varieties he offered). He did not offer any of his parts separately. They come up for sale on eBay from time to time. 

There have been others offered, but they never looked right to me. Some were simply recasts of the old MPC generic stock car intake.

Ross Gibson is not with us anymore as he died some time ago, so his engines will not come back.
I don't know of any other Rat Roaster intake manifold.
