It’s not listed at the moment, that’s why I ask. Heard it was an Italian guy…
Anyone who can get me in touch with him?

I will. My best option so far is to use the upper part fron an ABF and modify the Syncro 16v lower part to fit.

Participantthe ABF manifold comes mighty close to the transfer case nasty bend to miss it
you want smomethign like the one on mine

Membervery slick danny – so you fit the prop afterwards then I guess? does that work with std RHD bulkhead? It looks like it’ll flow beautifully.

Participantbolt prop up then lift and pull manifold onto head, fit’s RHD with no bulkhead mods
dose require cabel change gearbox tho as one down pipe is where shift rod would be. also the unused bracket on steering rack had to go for more clearance.ont he last engine, with std map it pulled 173 bhp 150 lbs theis enigne with chip feels more lively

Is that a cast ABF manifold for RHD?
I have a tubular one, and I go LHD. Will it be different then?

ModeratorThe LHD 2wd tubular one also comes too close to the transfer box and prop shaft,
I measured it when I had one here, its a simple enough slice and weld job to modify it and fit it to the lower half of a syncro downpipe though,
what you finish with is something like this 8v one on the left

Participantthats an abf cast manifold in my photo,
lhd everything is diffrent, much much easyer, as phots above show just cut and shut the top of headers onto lhd downpipe. so i had two options ether do some massive mods to lhd downpipe and graft it onto 16v headers. or start from scratch and i think that is easyer if have a good selection of pipe and a good welder to hand. also going ether side of the prop with the downpipes meant they chould be bigger

I’ve allready got that one, just need the manifold.
Will an ordinary 16v cast manifold fit?
