Good luck! I did a load of work on some of these last year, Ford made a hi-top version for the single twin choke downdraft, flowed incredibly well compared to a std manifold, or even a well modified standard one.

Hi Joe, I quite remember your words. Are you aware of available or copies of the said manifold, the one for the single carb'?

No, I only know FOrd made them, obviously in very limited quantities. I have seen one cut, raised and welded . . . . which also enables you to get inside to port/modify.
from memory its getting the end cylinders to flow as well as the middle two so they don't run lean. . . . although some heads are worse so I'd do that first!!! |

Its probably the unit pictures on the homologation form of the 3.0 Capri for instance. I do remember you've been working hard on this engine.

I get this regularly . . .How and why would I have something as good or better sitting around, for less than the cost of something readily available from a recognised manufacturer.

Sorry, but Burton have reproduction. Yes, may be is better then original, but design is little different. Picture on website is not correct. Manifold have some new ports on top side. I'm abble to pay better price as is reproduction because I'm looking for original part which is rare. But till today was no correct offer.

I'm looking for genuine Ford Essex inlet manifold for 3 carbs Weber DCNF was the question. I think it can only be a XPack unit with 42 mm carbs. As terence says, have a seat and good luck.

Wasnt so long ago I could have bought a genuine manifold complete with carbs for gbp100 off of a guy I knew. Of course I had no intention of owning a Capri then. 🤔😖😖

Too many years of giving stuff awayGerard. Very rarely do you get favours returned apart from very few people. Racing demands looking after number 1.Sad,but true.
