Do they make one to put a 2.4 intake on a 2.3 head i dont want to run the 2.3 intake just the head?

It isnt as doable as the 2.3 on the 2.4. Since its composite the flange has metal washer type things in the flange around the bolt holes and they cant really be slotted to fit the 2 like the 2.3 manifold to go on 2.4. I have toyed with this Idea too.

WOW.
Hmmm.. will the LD9 cams fit my W41?

It will be close...
Might need different pistons...
The way i have built my front end there is no room for the intake...

im confused... this seems like very backward logic lol... subscribed
i dont understand why it seems so backwards to people...
for NA, the LD9 manifold isnt all that bad. its equal length, which is good for TQ numbers on an NA. it is also composite, so there a lot less heat soak. its not necessarily better/worse than the LO or HO manifold as no hard evidence has been given to support swapping manifolds at all.

It would be interesting to see a 2.4 intake on a 2.3 and see the numbers jump but I doubt it. That swap does have two things going for it....weights less and no heat soak. But remember the 2.4 intake is smaller.
GMR has got nothing on this

Ok, I too was asking why, but I gotta give it to you....on this note^....true true true. BUT, I will say from my EXTENSIVE dyno testing on manifolds and random designs, the LO or HO are more 'conducive' to having the advantage from my past testings based on geometry considerations alone. Admittedly, all said testing was on smaller engines, but the commonality is striking when it comes to air induction. Also, to blindly adopt a design because it worked well elsewhere can be looked upon as ignorant.......so I will not throw any stones.
