Aluminum Risers
Hey all. I am looking for a set of aluminum risers to match some Edelbrock M1 manifolds. They are the smaller Glenwood style riser with a 4-1/4" flange, not the 4-7/8" flange.
Maybe you have an old jet boat fanatic neighbor or know somebody that may have a set collecting dust in their garage. Any help locating a good set is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Andy

Re: Aluminum Risers
Jim
Thanks for checking, I should have figured you might have something. I bought a really nice set of Glenwood "snail" risers off of eBay to find out that they are the larger size, and I need the smaller ones. The guy I bought them from thinks he has a small set he will trade me for and will let me know by Tuesday.
Do you have any other pics? If the other set doesn't work out, I would surely be interested I what you have. The 4-1/4" measurement is taken out of the Glenwood catalog, I need to take the elbows off of my manifolds to see what their actual size is. What is the outlet size on them? Even if this guy has a set, I would like to know more about those if you don't mind I may want them instead. I am mating them to a set of Edelbrock M1 manifolds, so I would like them to match as best as possible.
If you can check those couple of things, I would surely appreciate it.

Re: Aluminum Risers
And to the rest, thanks for the kind words. Having Sophia has surely changed my outlook on life and if you ever want to humble yourself, take a trip to the local Children's Hospital. It is full of amazing children with profound amounts of courage and will that will really make you take a good hard look at what is important.
I was really impressed by what the woody boaters in the Chesapeake Bay Area are doing with Disabled children and adults in the Christmas Parade. That shows what a great people are involved in this hobby. I am proud to be part of it and hope to meet each of you in person someday, in fact, I owe John a ride in FLASH.

Check with Brian at [email protected]. He travels in the jet boat and ski boat circles, and was a big help to me getting aluminum goodies for my 440 stroker project. CQ

Re: Aluminum Risers
Thanks for posting Jim, those are in great shape. Unfortunately, they are the same as what I have, which is actually 4", not 4-1/4". My boat must use a riser, not just an elbow. I am looking for what the jet boat guys call "snails". They will replace my stock risers, which are a necessity in my configuration.

Re: Aluminum Risers
After a month of searching, the guy I bought the original set from found the right size for me in California. He took them to the polisher last week, so I should get them by early next week. Then I need to figure out the cooling system with these new manifolds.
