not seen anything like it before, downdraft throttle bodies? lol
wtf is that Luke? Looks like some manifold for downdraft carbs? small block 1.3?
cool turbo inlet manifold.
See now I thought carbs at first but the bolting pattern doesn't seem to suit carbs at all, altho I've never bolted any up I guess, I dont *think* it suits them? :confused:Quote:

it is indeed a downdraft carb manifold for a 1.2/1.3. although i spose you could bolt TB's on if you really wanted to lol
On a nova, the bonnet would never shut lol, where you had that from luke?
see you say that but the carb mounting face will sit level with about the top of the head, then if you think as standard you have the whole height of the cam carrier and pancake filter, i think theres loads of room. twas an ebay purchase for a grand sum of £30. then get a set of alfa 33 twin 40's for £50 and bargain twin 40's FTWQuote:

I had a set of downdraught Webers on a Fiesta Superspeed Mk.1 many years ago, and the bonnet cleared that OK.Quote:

Never seen a downdraught set-up on a Vauxhall motor though, interesting.
