At last I've got the time (sort of) and space to put that silver top Zetec that's been lurking in a dark corner of the garage for years into my G32. Has anyone who has done the same used a Ford inlet manifold and if so which one ?

I'd saved the plastic Escort inlet manifold that came with my Zetec but, as lovely and clean as it is, it isn't going to fit without cutting out and re-locating the chassis rail at the rear of the engine bay.

I'm not sure the GOC would let me back in (!!) so I probably won't be following that thread on the GOC forum.

The best/easiest choice I've found so far is the Ford CVH EFI inlet manifold - just my luck, my CVH had the Bosch K-Jetronic system. Other options are Weber or Omex throttle bodies and injectors OR a Rover T-series manifold with an adaptor plate.
