Abstract: A finned engine spacer is coupled in thermal communication between an intake manifold and a fluid metering device. The spacer includes a body having an upstream face, an opposed downstream face, and sides extending between the upstream and downstream faces, the sides cooperating to form an outer periphery. A bore is formed through the body from the upstream face through to the downstream face, the bore for communicating a fuel charge from the fluid metering device to the intake manifold. Fins are formed in each of the sides, and the fins extend between the bore and the outer periphery, creating a finned engine spacer.
