Wouldn’t think so since dob ran into problems with steeda when he tried to make the same thing. Hope these guys don’t run into the same problem as he did. Since it’s the 5.0 steeda may have no legal ground. None the less may try and send them a email see what they say.maybe they will make some spacers for the 4.6's lol
I'd like to see an aussie respond to that sort of lawsuit. "Get fucked!" One can dream.
What material do you think these spacers are made of, I would like to make my own spacer for 4.6?
May take a while but I think it would be worst it for KB PD supercharger.

How thick a piece of teflon sheet would you suggest. Im thinking 1/4” should be adequate, with o-ring cut in lower side next to head.
Phenolic has been used for decades for carb spacers. I've run them. They don't absorb water. There may be slightly better materials but phenolic certainly works at a reasonable cost.

Plus according to this CTS-V guy who actually tested phenolic spacers, they don't help. He saw a 20 F decrease in temps at the manifold base by the heads but this did not lower the iat's.

Lastly, even knowing this, I did put down a deposit and planned on buying them. I just didn't expect a huge improvement.
