project:1.6 driver,aka the beast

[i_am_me]

i already have some exhaust wrap for it,and the carbs will be fully enclosed when the bonnet is shut.also with the carbs constantly drawing air in there will be a flow of cold air inside the box to keep the tempratures down, so i dont think that will be a problem but we will see.if it doesnt work i can change it.
i am trying too find a manifold but i want to keep expense to a minimum so im really looking at second hand parts.
the conversion wont be undertaken for a while anyway so it will give me time to sorce parts

oh nyc 1 m8 plenty of time 4 thinking and we need 2 get that spare manifold off ur old engine hav a look at what we can do to it... and its worth investing in a stainless manifold 'if therz any cheap flying about' as it will bend away from the inlet sooner and will be easier to keep heat down but the enclosed air box thing u come up with is a good idea it'l easi work

[i_am_me]

liam said he might have on but ive got to keep reminding him of these things
i only want the one off the other engine so i can cut out a plate to match the holes,im not going to cut down the manifold off the other engine as i think it will be more trouble than its worth,

I'll remember to look mate. And if I have it will be in your pile. Lol

[i_am_me]

next time you come round youll have to bring my pile with you,
also indicators

[lemski]

Yeh, I'll hopefully will get them in by then. Still thinking of mk3 front bumper not too sure yet though. And I will bring your pile with me. Then you can start building that kit up.

yer will have better flow if u make a manifold rather than make 1 outa choppin nd bendin welding if u catch ma drift and neg i will remind liam next time he rings me asking me if am cumin up i'll get ur parts 4 u martin

Yes, with the bulk of IQ that has just rushed into this thread this whole expedition can only end well.

I look forward to seeing the rabid power output graphs from a 1.6 carb engine with some bike carbs nailed to the back of it.

[i_am_me]

does that mean that i will actually get the parts he said i could have

[mk2 helper]

no we have evolved from caveman days and we use them new things called bolts now there well good i use em all the time
