CH exhaust manifold
For my sins, I'm using an 1800 cvh with a 1600 head. Anyone got an exhaust manifold that'll fit? Doesn't matter if it's the
type that goes through the bodywork or straight out over the chassis. Or, anyone know of a kit/supplier of really cheap ones? I don't want to
use the standard cast iron thing, and can't really be bothered to make my own yet.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

I had the same problem, but will be using the cast one for the time being as I have a down pipe. I think a secondhand one from a CVH westfeild would
be ideal, apparently they come up on e-bay cheaply as people upgrade engine...

Watch ebay quite a few turn up that have been made surplus by guys fitting Zetec engines, that how I got mine --- however they now seem to have
caught on to the fact a CVH exhaust can be bodgered on to a Zetec head.

I'm fitting a 1.8 CVH and picked up a 2nd SS hand Westfield manifold.
Will you be changing the pistons to fit the 1.6 Head?

It's already been done i think. It was brought as is from someone I know. Since I currently have the head off, is there a nice easy way of
checking if they have been changed? And is there any particular reason why they need changing?
