I don't think so, unfortunately - I think the port spacing is different...

I am using a 2lt DOHC also and to the best of my knowledge no other engine ever used the same head as it. The bottom of the engine was used on old
RS2000's but I think even the heads from those have completely different port spacing.
You could have a look at the custom manifold that Mark Allanson (Previous
Thread) made. This is the kind of route I plan to use in the end, but for the time being I am considering a hole in the bonnet :-(

Best bet is to wander round the scrap yards with your tape measure.
Measure the port spacings on yours and see if there's anything similar in the scrappers, it might take a little bit of grinding with a dremel to
get em perfect (in which case they'd be better than the Manufacturers!)
Can't remember if that was just the injectors but for example we found that the pinto and one of the Rovers were both on 4" centres.

The flange were it bolts to the head is at 45 degrees, so no chance of it fitting anything else.
I've got a original fiat manifold in the shed and it doesnt go any where near the inlet on my zetec motor.
