Default Re: What's this for??? On AU v8 manifold

Pretty sure it is a pointless casting lug. I cut mine off when I polished my upper manifold it's completely solid behind it. So I say cut away haha

Hay mate, Do you have a photo of your polished manifold??

I am thinking how much can I take off the manifold eg those lines on the top and side of the manifold. How thick is the sides??, has anyone ground them off??
