Abstract

See full text

A modular intake manifold for a V-style motor cycle engine is configured to interface with manifold ports on cylinder heads of a first engine and with manifold ports on cylinder heads of a second engine. The first engine has cylinders of a first length, and the second engine has cylinders of a second length larger than the first length. The manifold port of each cylinder head of the first engine is offset from the centerline of the respective cylinder bore by a first offset distance. The manifold port of each cylinder head of the second engine is offset from the centerline of the respective cylinder bore by a second offset distance that is greater than the first offset distance. A method includes manufacturing the first cylinder and second cylinders, the first and second cylinder heads, and the intake manifold with the respective same considerations.
