Default Tubular Manifold

Hello all...

My recent purchase a Tubular Manifold, after a recent test fit on my spare engine it has come to light that it is going to fowl the crossover pipe. Im using EFI inlet manifold

here are a few pics....







Any idea how i could get round this problem...??

Cheers

Fabricate a new cross over pipe using alloy tube.

Run the carrier pipe off to the left. Either cut the Ford carrier to reverse it or use silicone bends and tubing depending on clearance

Thats a 'blakey' inlet pipe i think, very few made.

Im running the efi inlet and engine in my ka but it has an ovaled pipe on the rocker cover (L-R) going 90 deg into the TB.

If you got an alloy 120deg bend you could maybe have an engineering place heat it and flatten it a bit?
