Anyone know which Ashley 4 branch manifold is closest to a pinto block Escort or Capri ? Or is there any other manifolds I can look for ?

Anyone know which Ashley 4 branch manifold is closest to a pinto block Escort or Capri ? Or is there any other manifolds I can look for ?
escort and capri manifolds are slightly different, but they will both run the same distance from the block,
what are you trying to do?
I'm putting a pinto in a Ford Thames but the exhaust is going to be tight, I remember someone years ago said there was a manifold that was tight to the block
.
I have a Pinto 4 into 1 ex manifold somewhere, if I can find it I'll take some measurements. From what I can remember it did n't look as though it would run too close to the inner wing and chassis. I bought it to go on a Pinto Rally engine but decided on the Group 2 Ashley 4-2-1 one after a lot of consultation.
RS manifold.
Thatll be great CheersQuote:Originally Posted by Forest_rallying
Really need a 4 branch its a built engineQuote:Originally Posted by Miniliteman
actually unless you have a mad cam the rs manifold is quite good, even a standard sierra twin downpipe jobbie is quite good.Quote:Originally Posted by nbs
Got a Kent HT1 camQuote:Originally Posted by Graham
ok, but that does beg the question, why on earth? ford thames isnt exactly a racing machine!
And why not ? Its different than a MK1 MK2 Escort. Ive just sold my ST170 engined 100e as I wanted something differentQuote:Originally Posted by Graham
i just dont get why so many people want to use a full race cam in a road car
There is only a very small chance you can make this cam work, even in a race engine. You need a very serious head or it will be a full "negative" power engine.Quote:Originally Posted by nbs
About manifold, only the big bore Ashley will release the full power of this cam/engine combination (in case you really got the right head). You can skip all other options.
The engine was built for oval circuit hot rod racing
OK, if on twin Webers, that's where these cam's can be used for. And your intention is oval or hot rod racing?
The 4 into 1 four branch manifold for a Pinto that I have measures approx 190 mm from the cylinder head flange to the out pipes if that makes any sense.
Thanks mate ill have a measure tomorrowQuote:Originally Posted by Forest_rallying
