for a diesel i would stick to a log style. it would perform better and drive ability will be substantially better.
plus its easier and cheaper to make.
look at the TD42 guys, none of the top guys run tuned manifolds.
leave the tuned style for high end petrols.

Your right. This was a petrol one.
The engine made great power was a massive effort making it. I spent heaps of time making it look complicated just for the cool factor
