What car is this inlet manifold from?
« on: 17 October, 2019, 08:32:31 AM »
I have a nice cast aluminium inlet manifold and airbox suitable for 2 x Weber 40DCOE or similar which looks as if ir is for a 4 cylinder engine.
The only markings on the castings are  a 'Z' ( or maybe its an 'N'?).
I have no use for the manifold or airbox but can anyone suggest what engine they might have come off please?

Looks like it is for an early Alfa twin cam with crossover inlet trunking, probably quite desirable for someone who is looking for one.

Looks like a 101 series Giulietta Veloce item to me. There's certainly a market for them as single carb owners (Normales) like to upgrade.

No problem Chris.
Here's a new repro inlet manifold (same 'Z' marking) - £755.

Classic Alfa is also retailing repro plenum chambers. Clearly a market for these!
