Scale Intake Manifolds

[Roger U]

Are there 1/24, 1/25 scale Intake Manifolds available to put Weber carburetors on V8 engines (Chevy, Ford)? I have the carbs and the engines but need manifolds to adapt them.

The Accurate Miniatures Corvette Grand Sport kits have an intake manifold for Weber carbs( along with a beautiful  set of 4 Webers).

Yes, but it's a very specific cross-ram manifold for side-draft Webers on a 1/24 scale smallblock Chevy engine.

The specific engine and the type of carbs the OP wishes to use must be addressed.

For instance: down-draft Webers on a Ford FE engine

The revell c2 67 vette convertible  has a cross intake for webers. Its the one with the orange custom and blue stocker on the box

The amt original '65 mustang fastback and their shelby cobra had a weber option on their small blocks.

Another one to consider if you're doing a big block Chevrolet is AMT '69 and '70 Chevrolet Impala kits. 

[Fat Brian]

Some of the AMT squarebody Camaro kits have a Weber intake for small block Chevies.

Thank you guys for the information. I was hoping there would be an after market source that offered manifolds separately.  I’ll have to start looking for some of the kits you mention. Thanks again.

There's a fair selection of resin aftermarket manifolds for single and dual 4-barrel carbs, blower manifolds, and a few Hilborn injection setups, but nothing for Webers...as far as I'm aware.

But if you have the patience to search eBay, it's very often possible to find the exact parts you may need...though unfortunately sometimes as expensive as buying a whole kit.

EDIT: 3dscaleparts has printed Weber downdraft "Inglese" manifolds in several scales. Their "Hilborn" manifolds are also easily converted to down-draft Weber use.   https://www.3dscaleparts.com/search-results?q=manifold&type=products

Here's the "Inglese" setup:   https://www.ebay.com/itm/133544031254?hash=item1f17d83416:g:uFoAAOSwSihdlifE

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I made my own for a Cyclone BFx clone I built. You could take a blower manifold that's flat and modify it.

Not easy but possible. Norm of Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland offered one at one time I believe for the SBF, which is what I planned to use but it comes with carbs and I had my own as well.

The pic of the engine with the manifold I fabricated is attached but you can't really make out the work.

Historic Racing Miniatures has a kit...

Thanks piquing my interest in 3D printed items. I eventually ended up at Shapeways and dropped $127 on intakes, blowers and wheels. One of my pop up shopping helpers even got me $20 off my order. ?

Here is one of the items I ordered.

I see there are several choices. The 3D printed parts look quite nice. I'll also have to look into the Historic Racing Miniatures and the Replicas and Miniatures offerings. Thanks everybody for all of the information.
