    Very poor. It will suffer from freezing, fuel drops falling out of the air, fuel collecting at the bottom and if there are no "flaps" inside who can direct the fuel into the cylinders, number one will be running poor and nummer 4 very rich.

    would probably work better as an exhaust

    I thought it was a Log type exhaust manifold at first glance until I noticed it said inlet. It looks like a 2.9 V6 XR Sierra throttle body might fit it.

    It's DCOE flange. Don't even think about it, let along try it. it will run but terrible results at low RPM.

    i would imagine forced induction would make air/fuel distribution even worse!

    yb manifold is a totally different kettle of fish, internally its vastly different, plus it only distributes air not air and fuel, the biggest down fall of this manifold would be fuel distribution
