Just Can't Stay Away 1972 142S

I would love DCOEs or ITBs but there doesn’t seem to be a manifold to make it happen. Well, aside from the $500 sheet metal one on ebay
 
There is a intake out there somewhere. I know this isn't much help but on one of the FB groups someone posted a link to one. I tried to find it for you but was not able to find it. If I end up finding it I'll send it your way.

I think that there are manifolds available in the motherland...? (I've seen a few b234 cars on insta with itb's on them.


Thanks guys, those look like a good option. Previously all I could find was this thing:

That being said it would be hard to justify going that route given the deal I can get on MS2.

But then there is the sound lol

Yeah, I'd go with ITBs from a liter bike and MS. It'd take some adapting, but there's no way I'd do all that work and still have carbs.

There's another interesting idea.

From what I am reading, since I don't plan to put a turbo on the engine the freed up space from mounting the engine upright isn't needed. I could mount the engine slanted, use an M47 (with some transmission tunnel cutting) and a readily available B230 intake might just clear the brake booster?

But you'd need a B234 intake, and aren't those a bit longer?
 
If it needs it, you could just shorten the b234 intake like people do for 240s. I know this is 8v but mounting the engine slanted seems to leave a really good amount of space between the head and brake booster.

Just a FYI finding a place for the alternator is a challenge but can be done. If you look down the feed a little ways you can see the bracket I made for a Suzuki samurai. It's really tight down there with the alt, oil pressure sender and oil lines. You will defiantly need to run a shortened intake with the 16V.

Oh wow, I didn't realize clearance was that good with the engine slanted. Definitely do that, Colin.

Yeah, I think that is the ticket. Just need to find a B234 intake manifold, there is a B234 exhaust manifold on EBay right now so I'm sure an intake will pop up at some point.

Thanks for the heads up on the Alternator
