Any one know what John Mummert's aluminum intake manifold clamps sell for?    I looked on his web site price sheet, but did not see a price listed.  Has anyone actually used any of these?    I would like to hear what you think about them.  Thanks, ----Jim

I have them on my engine. They work just like they should and look great.

While I was not aware of John Mummert offering the aluminum turtles (clamps) for the Ford Y intake manifolds, they are available from Blue Thunder.  For the Blue Thunder Y intakes, the turtles are an extra cost option but I always order them when also ordering the BT intakes.  While I use those aluminum turtles with the BT intakes, I’ve never needed them for use with other Y intake manifolds simply due to having a plentiful supply of oem turtles.

I may have been mistaken on where I got them. I was thinking I got them from John but it's been 5 years since I bought them.

The Blue Thunder clamps are cast aluminum with a slight counterbore for a washer.  John does show some cast aluminum clamps on his website.  http://www.ford-y-block.com/accessories.htm 

I had to trim some of the clamps for use with my Blue Thuinder manifold in order for them to work better with the manifold.  Easy to do with a belt or disc sander.  These were produced over 10 years ago so new ones might be different and might not be a problem when used with a stock manifold..

Thanks Charlie.  While the picture of John’s clamps closely mimic the look of the oem clamps, the Blue Thunder clamps have a different look.  Here’s a picture of the Blue Thunder manifold clamps (turtles).

Ted, which do you think would work best with an Edelbrock 573 intake?  I am a bit "worried" about the off-set on the Blue Thunder Clamps, although I like the looks of them better.  Thanks for your opinion, it is valuable to me. I still have not found a price listed any where for either, or a source for the Blue Thunder clamps, other than e-bay 

Thank you to every one who responder to my questions.---Jim

I have an Aluminum Offy but no Clamps. Can I use the Ones that are used on the original Cast Iron Intake or do I need to look for others?
