Could be wrong but I don't think anybody does anymore, not new anyway. I think wildcat does something similar but I don't know if it only fits their heads.

think real steel still does

No longer in production as far as I am aware. Real Steel used to advertise them though - don't know if they're still shown in their catalog.
Excellent alternate of course though is Ian Richardsons Wildcat version - includes a cast in stat housing that the the other two don't

I am told the wildcat ones are made by harcourt and stamped 'wildcat'. They are for the std head style not wildcats. Dont know if they still got em in stock but i only got mine last summer. Price is £285 + vat. Basically i would say any dje/real steel versions are all the same casting from harcourt just stamped with their own name. As far as i know harcourt still make them. Huffakers are a long time out of production.

Hello,
I think this type of inlet manifold (carb and Efi version) is always available from http://roverv8.biz/
