V6 Conversion Parts Checklist - Help Required

[bagss2]

its the transit manual MT75 what causes the problem

This is what I understood... And feared!

Does anyone have a proven solution?

What do the 2.9 (12v or 24v) boys do??



Thanks for your feedback by the way, much appreciated!

well with my 24v i made 2 stainless manifolds that went round it but other ideas are making spacer blocks to move the standard granada manifolds out

if i was you i'd get some 2nd hand tubilar ones and either bend them or cut and weld in a couple of tubes either side

Just do what I did! Cheap and cheerfull ! Check in customing,under cosworth boa,

Thanks guys - both top ideas.

It won't be me doing the cutting / welding / customising (due to complete lack of talent ) - so the decision which way to go will probably be down to my skilled pal(s)...

Would appear that these are the two practical options though - thanks again!

Modified tubulars are the way to go I recon, Fordboynick and Browny both have type 9 boxes, well Nick did until it got stolen so no probs with the clearance

[MinorMatt]

Well I have made one manifold for the 2.9 and the next one will be made soon...

Don't suppose anyone has a set of old manifolds/downpipes that they 'knocked up' for a 2.8 and then subsequently upgraded??

Long shot, I know... but, if you don't ask........


Cheers, Baggers.

[AlanN]

Mmmm! yes, its a long shot

[bagss2]

Well, I've managed to source a set of Janspeed tubular manifolds for a 2.8 Sierra - locally off a pal of a pal...

Although they'll be cheap enough, does anyone know if they'll do the job as well as Capri ones? It was Capri ones I read somewhere...


Cheers, Baggers.

[MinorMatt]

Fit em and find out!

[AlanN]

I still think your going to have to mod them and I dont think they are any different to Cappa ones

[fordboynick]

Can you take some pics of you new down pipes so we can see if they will go on
