Modified Inlet manifold on std heads

[cinquecento]

Hi..
Just invested in a 72mm pleneum and 45mm Trumpets/base.. along with a matching inlet manifold. I understand the manifold matches V8D Stage III heads.
Are there considerations when installing the manifold onto a standard 500's heads (1996 car) in terms of what is now (I assume) a mismatch in the inlet port size of the head.. and the manifold's port size.

It'll be like widening your gates, driveway and garage doors but getting into the house through the cat flap.

I don't know what size ports you have on the 500 head, they are likely to be bigger than standard and possibly bigger than the V8D stage III. I suggest you ask the people who supplied the portal manifold how well it will match up to the 500 heads. Also if you decide to go ahead, compare the size/shape of the ports directly when fitting the new manifold.

Ah ha, I saw this on fleabay a week or so ago. I wondered where it went.
