Head work looks very flash! Has it had the manifold welded to the head, or are they cast like that?

Eastern euro horses, they're not very big

The engines all make 190hp, it is class rules. The engine has intake manifold made by us. Intake custom made and attached via threaded bolts to head with use of gasket to ensure sealed.
Head flows amazing.

Why do you make fun of me? Is it because car not japanese? Race car is a race car! I dont get why you all make fun of me in that picture.
