Did I read somewhere that someone was designing a reed block for small block engines..Scooter loopy john possibley ?

Dosen't MB do one? failing that i'm sure jimmers does one

here to help...even gingers

Doesn't the LTH one fit both 150 and 200 barrels?

Jimmer and SLJ are working on a small block reed manifold. They have some cast and are awaiting machining.

I have little more info than this, though I do keep in touch with both guys and will bring you more info when I have it.

HOW BIG

I've got one on my Rapido. It's small, compared to the reed block on a RB it's frigging tiny! Think the max size is 30mm carbs, I'm currently using a 30mm PHBH, about to go back to a Keihin 28mm PWK. Those plastic things on the lower right of the pic are to 'sleeve down' the block for smaller carbs.

Manifold is 10mm shorter than the MB manifold which helps air filter under panel options (personally I go commando). I also spent a fair amount of time with a dremmel opening it up to even come close to the inlet port on the barrel, should have done more but the grinder bits were fooked and I got swarf in my eye through not wearing goggles (tw@7) and didn't want to play anymore. .

I'm very pleased with it though, fuel economy has dramatically improved and power bands are sharper. Want to put one on my stage 4 200 block with a 24mm mukuni, again to make it more economic and to sharpen it up a little.

Does it work without holes on the piston or a boost port like TS!?

You could use it either way, but the boost holes do help.
