Rover 2000tc<br>
<br>
No way did that manifold ever mate with a Sprint head!<br>
<br>
So, he took off a pair of '8s and replaced them with 40's!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I thought the Rover manifiold was a straight one and this one turns downwards like a Sprint...<br>
Looks like the thermostat housing has been hacked off....<br>
which is aslo true of some weberfolds...<br>

A bit out of left field maybe, but what about a Volvo Amazon?

Gotta be a slant engine that leans right. Saab? Would explain the confusion. <br>
Are they HS8?<br>

If it were a Saab engine I reckon it'd look similar enough to an 1850 manifold for someone to say it was one of those. Vauxhall had a slant engine, but I guess it's going to be some kind of special tuning application, as HS8s on a 4 pot do seem like overkill for production road use.

Can't be a six potter; only twin siamesed ports = four pots. No bolt holes to fix it to your head with either....
