DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTAKE/EXHAUST MANIFOLDÐ2.4L ENGINE
The intake manifold is a tuned two-piece alumi-
num casting with individual primary runners leading
from a plenum to the cylinders. The manifold is
designed to boost torque which is desired for excel-
lent engine response and usable power output.
The exhaust manifold is made of nodular cast iron
for strength and high temperatures.
INTAKE/EXHAUST MANIFOLDÐ3.0L ENGINE
The aluminum alloy manifold is a cross type with
long runners to improve air flow. The runners,
attaching below at the cylinder head, also attach
above and support an air plenum. The air plenum
chamber absorbs air pulsations created during the
suction phase of each cylinder.Both exhaust manifolds are a log style made of
ductile cast iron. Exhaust gasses, collected from the
front cylinder bank, leave the front manifold through
an end outlet and are fed through an upper crossover
tube to the rear manifold. The collected exhaust from
both manifolds are combined at the exhaust outlet, to
the exhaust pipe.
INTAKE/EXHAUST MANIFOLDÐ3.3/3.8L ENGINES
The intake manifold is a tuned two-piece semi-per-
manent mold aluminum casting with individual pri-
mary runners leading from a plenum to the
cylinders. The manifold is designed to boost torque in
the 3600 rpm range and contributes to the engine's
broad, flat torque curve, which was desired for excel-
lent engine tractability, response and usable power
output.
The intake manifold is also cored with upper level
EGR passages for balanced cylinder to cylinder EGR
distribution.
The exhaust manifolds are log type with a cross-
over and are attached directly to the cylinder heads.
They are made from nodular cast iron.
