86tt Forums Junkie Location: Sydney Registered: August 2004	Re: Custom Intake Manifold Wed, 17 November 2004 15:21 this article written by Michael (which Michael??) also mentioned there may be a clearance problem with FWD manifold?? http://www.toymods.org.au/FWD_To_RWD_4A-GE/ Below is an extract from Phil Bradshaw's page mentioning the same problem... http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/phil.bradshaw/Engin e%20Installation.htm#Inlet%20Manifolds so why does it happen only to certain people? Quote: If you do not have access to a RWD manifold or you have a post 89.6 Red Top then there are two possible options (short of fabricating your own manifold or converting to carburettors); cut both ends off the manifold and swap the throttle body to the front of the manifold and blank the rear or else cut the intake runners and weld the entire top half of a RWD intake on (assuming the intake runners line up). If bonnet clearance is a problem the 16 Valve manifolds can be shortened by cutting a section out of the vertical part of the intake runners and welding back together . My original engine was shortened 30 mm in this manner with no apparent loss in power. Be warned that this will place the cam cover breather almost horizontal and hence an oil catch tank is a wise idea. This all means that realistically the oil filler cap and plug leads are the limiting factors for bonnet clearance on 16 Valve motors.
