Vixen S2 exhaust manifold origin?

[pigiron]

I want to replace the exhaust manifold and sysyem on my S2 Vixen. the manifold looks like a standard 1600E?, anyone know if an aftermarket Escort one will clear the body work etc?

I had to cut and shut an aftermarket escort manifold to make it fit my S3 as it hit the chassis. I also wanted to run the exhaust within the transmission tunnel so i wanted the manifold outlet to be above the gearbox crossmember height. Took a bit of fiddling around to re-angle things to thread it all down though the gap but it is do-able.

You can also start with a vauxhall cavalier one and cut and shut that or A 1600 ford capri can be similarly modified. Capri V6 is a good fit but needs another pipe added.
