WANTED - XFlow inlet manifold

Post by Jim Mountain »

Hi all,

anyone got a inlet manifold to mount a pair of 40's to a ford crossflow (Kent) engine,

needs to be quite short as I have a long one, but the carbs would stick out much too far.

I can swap for the long one if that would suit anyone.

Cheers Jim

Try a Caterham 7 one. Crossflow 7s had a specially made short inlet manifold for twin 40 carbs, to clear chassis engine bay lateral tube. This set up was combined with short carb trumpets and twin K&N filters.

Don't have one I'm afraid. Try e-bay or Caterham Cars themselves. Burton Power possibly, but maybe not short enough.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Jim,
I got mine from Burton, its a short Hyflow unit that lets you fit the carbs under the bonnet without a bulge. All you'll need to do is modify the inner wing and trim the wing edge. You'll need the shortest stubbies though and I use Webcon filters as I tried pipercross and ITG filters and both fouled the bonnet.

I hope this helps.
