Cheers for your vote of confidence

Bart, that would be ideal if you could. It is the flange that's the problem as I cannot even attemtp to bolt on the inlet manifold. Let us know when a good time would be to organise. Will be moving car this week back to fabricator to finish some rust maintenance and sort out my gearbox mountBartman wrote:Do the manifold flanges foul each other Nick?
If so, just get a grinder, and carefully relieve the Inlet manifold till the go together. Just go nice and slow. I can lend you a head if you want to test fit them without having to put them in and out of the car.
Is there any combination that should just bolt on and work unmodified??Kitch wrote:Oh, are we talking where flanges mount on head?
I had to grind a fair bit out of my exhaust flanges, and give the dellorto ones a wee lick too
