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.

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. 🤔😖😖
