reviving this thread, anybody know which 4 branch is a good fit for a abf converted raddo?

 

Cheers

I looked into this and every thread i found said none of them would fit and they would all knock on the exhaust tunnel and sit to high due to the longer block not much help sorry but thats where my research got me

Im sure theres people on here that have done this conversion! there mmust be a solution. Failing that maybe use a kr manifold and have it extended somehow...

i have seen longer manifolds i think tsr have them listed for an abf into a mk2. but i would think a mk3 would fit

As ross k said above everywhere i read it says they all catch. Also read the standard kr manifold flows well enough so there would be no benefit, how true that is i dont know as ive seen no proof.

 

I just run the standard manifold but it does catch on the bottom of the bulk head/exhaust tunnel so going to look into solid engine mounts :-)

the other cheaper option is just to make up a spacer plate between the manifold and down pipe and put some longer studs in.i would not be in hurry to put solid engine mounts in unless it is a race car.

spacer sounds interesting, that seems a good way to do it, when the engine goes back in i will do some mock ups to see what works.
