Pictures of exhaust manifold Jezzer, sorry it took a while. The only awkward part of reusing the sierra manifold is converting the 2 into 1 manifold to exit the side of the car instead of underneath. If you cut of the pipes at the main flange and the turn the manifold around 180 degrees and reweld onto the manifold, this is fiddly to get it to exit in the right place and you will have to trim the end of the pipes so that they fit squarely onto the flange. You can then purchase some 2" exhaust pipe and a 90 bend and weld to suit to connect the rear silencer.

It is a bit fiddly but is the cheapest way to do it and it does look okay.

Nice one - cheers mate.

Did you use the original cast engine mounts on both sides of the engine?

Thanks

Gus

I used the cast one on the nearside but on the offside it fouls the steering column. If you fit the nearside support and chock the engine to the correct position you can then fabricate a new support for the offside raising it slightly to allow for the compression of the rubber.

I used 5mm plate for the flange to the engine, chassis and rubber then welded a steel box between the two, worked a treat. You can see it on the attached pic.
