BBK SSI Manifold
Hi. I have an SSI manifold on a Ford crate engine in a kit cobra. I figured at 350 horse and 2200 lbs. it should move, and I wanted the latest greatest manifold. Unfortunately, what moved was coolant through the manifold in a fissure and leaked out by the #4 cylinder manifold bolt. Also I have to mention the spacing on the fuel rails does not match the spacing on the intake ports so the injectors are not parallel, and they leaked gasoline on the intake manifold. This was after I spent 2 hours grinding casting flash out of intake runners to improve flow.
I contacted John Brockman at BBK who has been very gracious and helpful. I boxed up the manifold and fuel rails to return to BBK, but FedEx has no record of a request to pick it up for a return to BBK.
I have been trying so hard to get this car together and now I am stuck with a manifold that leaks. I have no other recourse than to sue BBK in small claims court. What should I do?

I've talked to John Tues, Weds, Thurs, and today. I really like John. He's personable and helpful...called me back numerous times. If it where not for John, I would already have filed in small claims. But everyday he tells me Fed-Ex will pick it up today and it never happens.

My concern is that you have modified the intake by removing the flasing. This could void the warrenty? I had thought of purchasing these intake,but it just seemed to never be avaiable for production!! Good Luck and kept us posted!!

That's too bad, but I'm with vfast on this one.
Ship it to him and deal with it that way.
Sure it's a couple bucks to get it there, but would you rather take this to a court with a possible court date of next year or so?
Either demand they reimburse you and purchse another upper/lower, or see if they can send you another?
