Single sidedraft manifold for crossflow
« on: Friday,April 19, 2019, 06:20:16 AM »
Anyone knows who makes an intake manifold like this  seems less complicated to tune than twin sidedraft and as 115 bhp

That would be for the Stromberg head.

I've never found tuning 2 sidedraft Webers that hard. 4 straight barrels on the manifold gives better flow too.

Doesn't the photo show a cross flow engine?

Duh!  Of course it does... oops.

The single sidedraft manifold for the Renault crossflow was available way back when.  Not easy to find now. Webers were very expensive so sometimes people fit just one for a medium performance gain at a more reasonable price.  Not common then, and hen's teeth now.
