Configurable engine manifold

1. A configurable engine intake manifold kit, comprising:

a base section having a throttle body end, a closed end, and a valley defined by side walls that connect the ends; at least two ports wherein one port is located at the throttle body end and one port is located at the closed end;

at least two throttle body adaptors, each of which is configured to mount to the throttle body end;

a PCV adaptor configured to complement both of the at least two ports; and

an oil fill adaptor configured to complement both of the at least two ports; and,

a top section that connects with the base and closes the valley;

whereby an engine intake manifold is configured by fastening a selected one of the at least two throttle body adaptors to the throttle body end and, depending on which of the at least two throttle body adaptors is selected, fastening the PCV adaptor to a respective one of the at least two ports and fastening the oil fill adaptor to other one of the at least two ports.

2. A configurable engine intake manifold kit, comprising:

a base having an intake end, a closed end, and side walls that connect the ends and define a valley within the base; a throttle body adaptor mount located at the intake end; at least two ports with at least one port located at the intake end and at least one port located at the closed end;

a throttle body adaptor configured to complement the throttle body adaptor mount;

a PCV adaptor configured to complement the at least two ports; and,

an oil fill adaptor configured to complement the at least two ports,

whereby an engine intake manifold is configured by fastening the throttle body adaptor to the throttle body mount and fastening the PCV adaptor to a respective one of at least two ports and fastening the oil fill adaptor to a respective one of at least two ports.

3. The intake manifold kit of claim 1 , wherein the throttle body adaptor is configured to direct air through the throttle body when the intake end is forward facing relative to a vehicle's direction of travel.

4. The intake manifold kit of claim 1 , wherein the throttle body adaptor is configured to direct air through the throttle body when the intake end is rearward facing relative to a vehicle's direction of travel.

5. The intake manifold kit of claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises a single weld interface.

6. The intake manifold kit of claim 5 , wherein the single weld interface is a vibration weld.

7. A set of configurable engine intake manifold components comprising:

a base having a closed end and an intake end that has a throttle body mounting location configured to receive a throttle body;

a first port located in an area proximate to one end of the base;

a second port located in an area proximate to another end of the base;

a throttle body configured for attachment to the throttle body mounting location;

a PCV adaptor configured for attachment to the first port and the second port; and

an oil adaptor configured for attachment to the first port and the second port,

wherein the set of configurable engine intake manifold components are configured by defining an orientation of the throttle body mounting location relative to a vehicle configuration; attaching the throttle body to the throttle body mounting location; positioning the PCV adaptor in a selected port of the first port and the second port based on the orientation of the throttle body; and, positioning the oil adaptor in a remaining port of the first port and the second port.

8. A method of assembling a variable engine intake manifold for motor vehicles, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a manifold base having a closed end and an intake end that has a throttle body mounting location configured to receive a throttle body;

providing a first port located in an area proximate to the closed end;

providing a second port located in an area proximate to the intake end;

providing at least two throttle bodies configured for attachment to the throttle body mounting location;

providing a PCV adaptor configured for attachment to one of the first port and the second port;

providing an oil adaptor configured for attachment to one of the first port and the second port;

determining an engine orientation relative to a vehicle configuration; and,

attaching a selected throttle body from the at least two throttle bodies and attaching the selected throttle body to the throttle body mounting location, and attaching the PCV adaptor and the oil adaptor to a respective one of the first and second ports in accordance with the selected throttle body orientation.
