Manifold

[Mike Cole]

Hi can anybody help me please. I have a ford 2.0 dohc engine and the Inlet manifold has cracked. Does anyone have a manifold to sell. Any help or pointers as to finding one.
kind regards Michael.

Hi.
If the usual suspects like eBay and Facebook Market place have nothing then I recommend Classic Carbs. They have been very helpful with weird requests from me in the past.

Do you have part number /photos etc. Try SierrasRus they may have something.

I have tried every where I could without success to obtain an inlet manifold for the 2.0 litre dohc carburetor engine. The only option available I think is an engine replacement.
Could someone recommend a replacement engine that would marry up to a MT75 gearbox.
kind regards Michael.

Could it not be repaired? Even an aftermarket manifold would be cheaper than replacing the engine?

Why not go to a decent local exhaust fabricator? Google search / maps is your friend.

Although some of this might sound very silly -

If it's aluminium or steel, you can get crack welded up.
if it's plastic , maybe can get heat welded (they do that for bumpers), or maybe glued.

or even - why not just Araldite or similar glues ? Doesn't work for exhaust, of course. Araldite type 2 pack glues are VERY strong....

Sure , doesn't look very pretty, but if it works you have saved yourself a whole engine, and can look at other possible replacements with more time.

Maybe Danst engineering could make up one that will take the original carb.
