gregaust 319 Posted March 17, 2014 Don't think I'd be too happy with that outcome on a new manifold 1 Clevo120Y reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trev Vaa 1,185 Posted March 17, 2014 agreed, i also thought the port faces of the manifold looked thinner than norm on post #15 did you send photos of this to dave? if so what was his response? im curious to see what the go was here as for me i've always had fantastic customer service from him.... here's some comparison pics off the site. something definitely up with your intake bud. second 2 pics are on dart blocks. first one is a cleveland manifold. suggest contacting dave and showing your pics bud. something is off. your port face and valley face is about half the thickness, aka the size of the gap. just noticed something else, on the AFD ebay store, there is 2 types of cleveland 2v intakes, one to suit cast iron heads, one to suit the alloys? perhaps there was a mistake?

gerg 10,871 Posted March 17, 2014 on the AFD ebay store, there is 2 types of cleveland 2v intakes, one to suit cast iron heads, one to suit the alloys? perhaps there was a mistake? I'd say the one to suit their alloys has revised port placement (maybe higher?) and/or shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trev Vaa 1,185 Posted March 18, 2014 i'd agree with that 100% ^ just wonder if the face gap may be different as well. who knows, but all the areas look to thin, valley and port faces.... so it probably has been ground down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FORD_MAN 1,026 Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah I sent Dave the same pictures as I put up here, that was when he said about the pins in the head and the Felpro 1240 gaskets, after that didn't fix the problem I started on making the spacers. Back when I brought the manifold there wasn't anything in the listing saying for suit alloy heads or Cast Iron, it's only resonantly that they added that to the listing. This is defiantly the Alloy Head one. As the middle ports are out of alignment to the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trev Vaa 1,185 Posted March 19, 2014 maybe contact dave again and ask if you can swap? try giving him a call.... did you buy the intake directly off him or from a secondary supplier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FORD_MAN 1,026 Posted March 19, 2014 I brought it through there Ebay shop, she'll be right it will do the job for now. The ute will be running again 2moro. Just auto fluid, coolant and fill carb with fuel. next engine will have alloys so I will re use it then, 1 Trev Vaa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
