    Re: Zakspeed engine

    I think this engine may have been built by God on his rest day! I remember reading in a classic Ford magazine over 15 years ago about the Zakspeed capris and I may be wrong, but i think they had a 1300 pushing 300+ and a 16 pushing 450bhp+???? Amazing power! have we really come on leaps and bounds in line with this or are we slowing down? (answers on a postcard)

    Just been looking at the thread again and wondered how it all was going on or if Dual has dark holed it.

    I mean, there are 2 water manifolds on the exhaust side, one on the intake side.

    What direction does it flow?

    Thanks

    Is the one at the flywheel end the one and only block outlet ?

    I realise its an older post but deserves an answer? I suspect water enters the block on the inlet side (coolest), circulates round cylinders and exits out the back above the flywheel. It then enters the cylinder head via one of the manifolds at 4 points and exits via 4 points through the other manifold. Complicated but quite clever!
