I have a spare manifold so will pull it out for a look.

I normally just cruise around but do enjoy giving it a bit of a squirt every now and then. Surprised a few cars when out testing the last couple of weekends. 😁
Power to weight can indeed surprise some.

If you do have a play I for one will be interested to hear how you get on.

The B20 in my PV has a Weber carb and a matching manifold that was apparently a good period upgrade. I've just got a larger bore exhaust to match. I've got a feeling this will just change the sound though - it is meant to copy the Abarth design - we'll see,,,
