Manx Club

I may have asked this before but now I do need to know I bought a motor for my new build and it has duel 48,s on long race mamifolds. I will not be back to that car for two weeks so will be thinking of what fits and not knowing. I think I need the Empi off-set style and will be down sizing to 40's. Any ideas or pictures My body is not raised or lowered just a stock pan and body..Thanks

I don't know which body you have. I had to put a body lift in my clone to accommodate dual carbs. I used the Weber Redline Kit 40mm.

Thanks Ed but no lift for me. It is a Manx2's. There must be manifolds that fit maybe square back ones? Pictures would help.

This is the answer I got from Pat Downs at CB performance.


I can use our type-3 manifold, it is extremely short. It requires the use of a bell crank style linkage instead of the cross bar type. other wise, you will need to remove the manifold/carb assembly to install the engine. Yes, I have built hundreds of engines for Manx style cars:)

I think he might know something about vw engines

Since the bodies aren't the same, I don't think pictures would be of any use.
Good luck.

Ordered off-sets from CB performance and a jet pack will post results

I think you'll be good to go with the offset intakes.I have them on my 4 digit manx ll and they fit.It's close on the passenger side, the upper heim joint/arm on the crossbar just misses the f'glass.And i do have to remove the air cleaners to remove the motor.I put a plastic bag over carbs to keep the bad stuff out while removing engine.
These are dual weber 40's with the offest intakes.

Took a chance and ordered glad to here they at least worked on yours. Hope mine work to

They fit nice linkage not so much. I would like to find the cable set up?

I bought the synclink that pete offers(i dont know if i can reference another website?) but haven't had time to install yet,maybe this weekend.from what i've read,its a very smooth system.i have to do some mods to my rollbar for a sombrero top first then pull the motor for the synclink install.
If/when i install i can try to post some pics?
Sorry to hear the crossbar isn't going to work for you.it is very close on my buggy.

Thanks for the lead Tony. I will cut up the bar first when I get back to that car. Hope your top goes well that in my plans too.

The linkage worked out great

jjlangan...
What,where did you get that exhaust? I'm looking for something like that. Is it a headr for a 'thing'?
Thanks
