Dont think so dude - looks like the carbs would be pointing downward! lol

Aye, the tb inlet is "flat" so the bodies sit at a 30deg angle. With the xe inlet ports being set on a 30deg upward angle.

That inlet is what you need for carbs, bit hard to tell if its the 7deg version or not though

Cheers chaps. i've e-mailed him and he's sold it anyway!

they can be used with either FWD or RWD it depends on what angle the engine is mounted

probably pointless pics but here they are anyway.

Lol, they look identical!
Looking at my engine, it looks as if it sits horizontal! Guess there's a good reason why they produce a 7 degree one though!

i'd imagine its for when your using carbs as there flaot chambers would sit level... with throttle bodies it wouldnt matter providing there is enough room in the bay.
