- Hey all, A quickie: Are the intakes from a 1296 and a 1500 interchangeable? Or better yet, Would a twin Weber manifold that lived on a 1296 be happy on a 1500? Thanks, Avi

- Yes, they swap, as many of us running twin little SU's on our 1500's can tell you. Sometimes you can have a bit of problem with clearances on the very late exhaust manifolds (extra lumps), but it's e

- I have noticed that there are two different versions of the 1296/1500 intake manifold though. The size of the ports where they match up to the head is different. Not sure which version goes with whic

- I just had 4 heads down to the machine shop. 3 were from 1500s and one was from an early 1296. The machine shop checked out all 4 heads and determined that except for the size of the valves and the

- Are you sure you aren't tripping yourself over TR-3 intake manifolds? I can't count the number of times I've picked one of those up thinking it's a Spitfire manifold, staring at it in confusion. I ha

- Sorry Guys, My bad. Actually, I realized that I was talking about the single ZS manifold, not the dual SU. It's puzzling, since as you point out, the ports on the head are the same size. I have 3 man

- We used the largest valves that could possible be fit into the head and if looks account for anything, I'd say ** You might want to be careful here (although it may be too late if you already fitted

- Those small ports were done by design, to speed up the flow at lower engine speeds for emission purposes. The were not a mistake. Sometimes (most times :-}) especially "back then" compromises were ma

- I think the differences for the most part are small and have to do more with ports for emissions junk than anything else! Joe
