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.

i'm using an 1800 cvh also. so would be interested to know who is good

Don't look at me, I don't know.

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?

i have the same setup its using zetec pistons.the westfield manifold is the one im using too

i think the pistons are changed to get the right compression ,ferriday did my engine
work but i brought the car with the engine already built.
