Guys,
those 351C IDF kits are using the Redline manifold, the one I earlier explained I had already owned & sold because it sat the IDF carbs too high for my tastes.
I looked into the situation a few years back, the Redline manifold is the ONLY Weber manifold available new at this time that matches the IDF carb to a Cleveland motor.
It believe it to be the only manifold available NEW that matches any Weber carb to the 351C. I believe Inglese refurbishes used Hall manifolds for their Cleveland applications.
I purchased the Redline manifold new from Hardiman in Oz, later sold it at 1/2 price to a fellow Pantera owner. The manifold has a 2V size port, but there is enough excess material around each port to allow it to seal up against a 4V port.
Like I wrote, I'm in the market for the Cain manifold, or the manifold Kjell Iseborn is running. I want to keep everything under the engine screen.
Below is a few more pics of the Redline manifold. I no longer own this manifold, so please don't ask if its for sale.
Doug you're wrong about the spacers, but I won't shoot you. lol..........
