Dash Engine manifolds

Post by Neil »

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the Dash engines use the same manifolds as the OZ delivered starions stock manifolds?

Exhaust manifold yes, inlet manifold no.

The inlet manifold is a dual runner arrangement for the extra valve which is why they aren't compatible.

However the exhaust manifold is not entirely the same as it has it's dual pulse arrangement(own channels) but mounts up just the same.

Thanks for the info.

Is the flange bolt pattern different or is it the whole port arrangement?
I guess there's probably not many other donors out there either?

Here's one for sale on TradeMe at the moment off a FWD Dash engine. It has a good picture of the Ports.
