There's another problem with fitting the 24v in the transit, the drivers side downpipe trys going through the bellhousing!

Time for some interesting bends in your exhaust system!

Had to put a hold on the project for now! :(

Due to not being able to get my custom wiring loom made up in time, its gonna have my LPG powered essex in it for a while, give me more chance to get the parts together for the 24v.

I'm aiming to have the van at Ford Fair this year! and on the 0-60 sprint! :twisted:

Had the same problems with my exhaust. Fitted ambulance manifolds and remote oil filter housing works perfect, but im not sure if they`ll fit the 24v heads.
