update: More in-progress projects PICS
So after getting my new hardware from ARTech everything looked perfect but scared and fearing the worst for my new manifold i decided to fab up a heavy-duty brace. Pics show all. All the hardware for the brace was bought at my local hardware store for less then $12 bucks.
welded steel tabs where the new support will bolt on to.
These babys showed up the other day also

And im currently working on fitting the new larger intercooler for the new china 2870. Intercooler is from CxRacing its 29x9x3

Cast iron is what your thinking when it comes expansion which is why cast manifolds NEED relief cuts. This Manifold will have expansion no doubt, but not nearly as much as cast. The brace is made to support the weight of everything so it will prevent cracks but im hoping that its not going to induce remature cracking

Are you planning to have the rod in tension or compression? I'd actually have to think about this a bit and maybe run a simple FEA to see how to best support that. Would be pretty simple if I had the geometry. (Hint, if you or somebody mock up some CAD geometry and send it to me I can test it, I do FEA daily at work)

the bar is held in with compression from being bolted down. I couldnt tension it because the threaded rod started stripping and got stuck tight. I got it extended far enough to where i could slide the bolts through each hole and bolt it down.
