Post Inlet manifold coversion

I've got a spare Phase 1 inlet manifold that I want converting to front entry, before anyone says I know that I could just turn it around.

How much should I be looking at price wise to get it finished like in the pics below? I've borrowed the pictures.





Also looking to get my fuel rails converted, what sort of price would I be looking at to get so AN -6 weld on fittings attached to some OEM fuel rails?

Depends if you have friends who do fabrication Micky?
Joe bloggs price might be around £50-60 to do the throttle re-location part.

You don't need to weld on adapters for dash fittings,just look on ebay,there is billet bolt on conversions like I have mate,not much around £45 IIRC

I may be stupid, but, I'm not going to waste money Ryan.

They are a waste of time, they don't fit in the OEM rails. Well one will, where my FPR adaptor is, but, nowhere else.

I'd forgot about Martin for fuel rails, Paul.

Ryan, mines and early car, Phase 1 everything.

I don't know if cosworth do rails for classics but I've just fitted them to my hawkeye. Theyre stunning pieces and fit perfectly, can't recommend them enough.

Have a look in the project section, I've got a thread on there with loads of pictures of them

The ends will fit then Micky,just unbolt the push on pipe ends you have as standard and they will bolt straight on mate

Carl Davey is another option for anyone looking for rails.

So a phase 1 inlet can just be fitted the wrong way round?. Where do you also get pipework to fit an FMIC for front entry, or do you have to buy specific FMIC's for the job?

Aye you can just turn it round. You've got to extend wiring etc, and redo the water pipes to/from the header tank though and relocate the header tank.

You have to get creative and make/modify the pipework for the FMIC.

Hey Micky,.


all our sealing issues are sorted now. I have designed them all so they have a recess in the front which an oring sits quite neatly in, no one else does this and it works well !

The only rails we now don't do are for v1-v2 but I have people after these, if you wanted to send me your manifold and tell me what your budget is I will do you a good deal.... if you want that is

My budget is next to nowt Chris.

I don't mind sending my manifold to you, so you can get rails made up for customers that are after some though.

PM me your address mate.
