Since Haze was kind enough to give a sneak peak at what Heartland Fieros is up to, I saw enough inquiry about pricing for the engraving that I thought I better post it.
We are fortunate enough to have a friend who has a CNC machine in his garage and is just dying to use it.
The engraving cost $10 per letter. There is a maximum of 9 characters with one capital letter.
Near correct Red Powder Coat is $75 for a clean intake manifold. Other colors vary in price.
Acid Dip and Beadblasting is $30
We are also deburing the casting lines for $35 per hour as required to make the intake smooth. Some castings are better than others.
A 85-86 Intake Manifold is required.
Additional cost for Shipping.
We are also offering the "Heartland Fiero Side Scoop" Billet Aluminum or Plastic $125 with "Fiero". Additinal letters $10 each
We are working on getting a catalog together. Other things that will be offered are Billet MAP Sensor covers, Billet vacuum canisters and whatever we dream up.
I intend on having a full line display at the Dells Run 2002.
Any questions, give me an e-mail

Alright, you damn monkeys found a loop hole in the layout.
There is a maximum of 9 Characters including one Capital letter in order to utilize the full width of the wide strip on the intake. If you have less than 9 letters, then more Capital letters will fit.
For Example: "Fiero GT" will just go on and look right; 3 capitals, 7 letters.
The capital letters take up about one and a quarter the width of one small case letter.
We have tried making the letters smaller and they just do not look like they belong on top of the intake. But, then again, "Monkeyman" on the top of an intake is somewhat odd I would have to say.
Anyways, thanks everybody for the interest. The pics do not do justice for what the finished piece looks like on the car in person.
