POLYURETHANE not plastic he can make molds and such with this.

There's literally hundreds of the items I have mentioned for sale right now. They make intake manifolds out of plastic these days.

Heres a perfect example. http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Engine-Perfo...n=DAYKJ01003BK

85$ for what amounts to a urethane block with screws in it.
