Yes and no.
It will bolt on, but the hunter GLS intake points downward 10 degrees
relative to the alpine intake.  This will put the carbs pointing
gas side out.

I hear its not_too_tough welding in a wedge to correct this, but if
ANY of the TWM intakes are still available, then I would personally
use one of those rather than to modify the GLS intake.

But then again, thats just me...

Mark,

Likely the manifolds that you speak of are for the avenger engine.
These will not fit the alpine/hunter engine.

The avenger was avail in 1250(1300),1500 and 1600cc.

Alpines are 1494, 1592 and 1725cc.

Hello list,

I have located two intake manifolds for the Weber carbs. One is a Lynx
crossflow for a single carb, and the other a twin carb set-up. Both
appear
to
be for 1300 or 1600 engines. My goal is about 120 hp with other mods
including
porting and mild cam. The questions are: will these work for a 1725? Is
the
twin overkill if I am not racing? They are replacing cd150s. Thanks.

Regards,

Mark B
