Anybody got one of these beauties for sale as sadly our Holbay engine is lacking ?

(Or does the standard one for an alloy head still fit ?)

Cheers

Standard one should fit, I have a nos Holbay manifold which will be going on my Singer Vogue's (Madge) alloy head. The head was ported to match the manifold so it must fit OK.

I know the inlet ports are different between the 'standard' ally head and the Holbay one so the manifolds aren't interchangeable - not sure about the exhaust.

The standard one will rob plenty power from the Holbay set up even if it fits.


That's what I'd feared :(

Jules - what inlet manifold setup did you use with your Holbay ? I understand the Holbay Weber setup doesn't fit the Commer and the twin Stromberg manifold ideally requires the Holbay inlet ports opening out.

Tim gas flowed the cast iron one on my Rapier engine and commented thay it was reasonable to start with - it drops down into twin pipes that were a bit of a bugger to fit in the engine bay.
