i have just put my new four branch manifold on the engine, but didn't quite realize how long it is!

whats the easiest way to get the engine back in?

how hard is the manifold to fit retrospective of fitting the engine

i only ask because i don't want to smash up my new paint work! :D

Miles

If the engine's out of the car then the manifold fits into the car first (Doesn't have too as can be fitted with it in as well) then fit engine and bolt manifold to head, very easy as you can get to all the nuts with ease unlike the std one

evening

 

 

after over two years of slowly building the engine i have finally got all the bits on and put it in!

 

It took a bit of jigging about but had it mounted up in about half an hour, really happy with how its starting to come together now!
