anyone got any ideas where i can get a 4 branch manifold for my mk4 escort 1300ohv at a reasonable price

Johnny

 

Is this what you want? Or this only covering the CVH series?

Ye looking again I think this is only for the CVH, will keep looking then.

 

thats prob a cvh only item. decent n/a manifolds for the old escorts are getting harder to find. its either sportex (shite) or ashley (unsociably loud shite). Janspeed can still be ordered through MSW but min qty of 5 why would i need 5? can even resell for profit because you're buying at a retail price

 

TBH I think your at a loss here, put your money elsewhere (maybe a fast road cam?). Probably not the news you want I know but thats how it is some times.

 

this has been covered on here before lads,

i think it was worked out a KA/fiesta endura one was closest

or get someone to make one, loads of places make exhausts nowdays localy

 

There's a good suggestion^

 

i would imagine you will gain between 1 and 3bhp ... if that!
It doesnt have a Cat in the manifold like some cars and its so low flow (really) that the manifold isnt particularly restrictive. Save money would be my advice mate.

 

well the idea is to keep it a 1300 pushrod but have upwards of about 85 horsepower,
are there any 1600 pushrod engine that go straight in.
i have a 1300 ohv kent 711m engine with a crank pickup and electronic ignition and dont really want to go over to points system
any ideas???
cheers guys

 

You mean 771m? 711m is a 1600 xflow block. The ohv was at the end of its life by the time it got to fwd. not a lot of options. The 1600 from an xr2 will go in, can use an electronic distributor, no points

 

99% sure it says 711m.

 

mk1 fiesta XR2 has a 711 block 1.6 xflow.
is the escort not a Valencia engine?

 

Fiesta has a 771m block. 711 is rwd. 771m for 1300 and 1600. Yes the escort is a Valencia/ohv but a proper crossflow will go in. Nothing will be the same, but it'll mount up. Easiest thing to do is fit a cvh, plenty of mounts, engines and ancillaries available 2nd hand

As above.

 

So it turns out I was lying anyway, I don't have any of those engine lol, I have a 898m-6015fa so any ideas
