#1 3.8 inlet manifolds

Post by lyons » Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:53 am

I know that mk10 inlet manifolds are different and do not fit under the e type bonnet (don't ask) but what about the triple inlet manifolds from a xk150s.

Anybody have an informed opinion.

I'll probably be contradicted by those who know far more than me, but I believe the XKi50s manifold will fit a S1 3.8.

For what it's worth, Malcolm, I think you're correct. However, finding a manifold from an XK150S might be even more difficult than finding a 3.8 E Type one.
