The Ramjet is very expensive if you purchase the entire manifold assy. I think I paid around 500.00 for the bare intake( I would need to look through my stack of receipts to be exact). I used salvage yard fuel rails off of an LT1. I think I paid around 25-30 dollars for them, they work with VERY LITTLE modification. You need to take off the metal crossover pipes on the ends of the fuel rails and tap the ends to thread fittings into. The Marine intake seems to be a very good choice also, it just depends on what your ultimate goal is for the engine. As already stated the Marine is sort of like a dual plane and the Ramjet is a smallish tunnel ram.
