Help- Urgent. RV8 inlet manifold needed

[v8s4me]

I've been let down badly by someone and with the car due to go in for its refurb next week I now need an inlet manifold asap. For a '92 V8S. Any one got one in good condition with no cracks or stripped threads for a reasonable price? Many thanks. Joe

How far are you from Guildford?

I'm near J20 on the M25 so a fair way away. What's it like and could you post it? Thanks. Joe

TBH mate, it weighs a tonne. Would cost a fortune to post.

might be less than you think with the good 'ol Post Office. I'll be posting a pair of very heavy (10kgs+) 4 pot callipes to somone next week and they will only be about £17.00. I'd have thought an alloy manifold would be less than that. Do you want to weigh it on your kitchen scales and I'll work out how much it will be. Thanks. Joe

You have PM.

As Hamish said there are different versions...

Only the very early pre-serp cars will have manifolds like yours. There will be 2 metal pipes running underneath, or if they have been stripped off the casting underneath has threads for the pipes and holes at front + rear of the bit that hangs down in the valley IYSWIM (the serps only have the hole at the front for the temp gauge sender rather than the heater/pump pipework).

I have a 1992 pre serp inlet manifold available if you need one, and I am only 20mins up the road from you. Email me if you are interested.
