Manifolds 140-160

I prefer the early integral iron manifold, I've never had any luck getting the same power from the aluminium intake. I'm guessing it's something to do with the drastically larger balance tube since the iron one is huge compared to the older aluminum version.

Also, the dual downpipe carb exhaust isn't any different to the FI exhaust manifold.

Did you calculate your required static compression as per Elgin's recommendations?
