who sells em?

Could be wrong but I don't think anybody does anymore, not new anyway. I think wildcat does something similar but I don't know if it only fits their heads.

No longer in production as far as I am aware. Real Steel used to advertise them though - don't know if they're still shown in their catalog.

Excellent alternate of course though is Ian Richardsons Wildcat version - includes a cast in stat housing that the the other two don't

editted to say - beaten to it - too slow typing!

I had a look there first it isn't in their catalogue online. Like you though T I am pretty sure they used to.

I am told the wildcat ones are made by harcourt and stamped 'wildcat'. They are for the std head style not wildcats. Dont know if they still got em in stock but i only got mine last summer. Price is £285 + vat. Basically i would say any dje/real steel versions are all the same casting from harcourt just stamped with their own name. As far as i know harcourt still make them. Huffakers are a long time out of production.

The wildcat single plane is by wilpower, according to photo's sent to me on the manifold archive.

Yep, thats definatly the same piece isnt it. If i'd known the efi ready version was available i could have saved a few quid too! Grrr..

Hello,
I think this type of inlet manifold (carb and Efi version) is always available from http://roverv8.biz/
