yes it fits, to the head anyways, might hit the intake a bit which would then require some grinding

I have a 2.0 with the head off, sitting in my driveway.
I'll try to get a look tomorrow.
Since the intake is on the other side for an ABA; Burn might be right about the intake not fitting next to the exhaust.

didn't hillfold use one of those flipped over?

if you don't like the tubular header, how about the cast iron dual outlet manifold from a 1.6 gasser with a Techtonics downpipe, etc. You didn't mention what chassis you are putting this on. You can grind and weld most anything to fit. :lol: Cast iron manifolds are HEAVY tho.

tubular header = less weight = more power to weight ratio from same HP :wink:

I have 3 different intakes and 3 different exhausts and am trying to find the best combination.

I will try the crossflow aba manifold later today, but it is still bolted to a motor. maybe I will post pictures when it is on a head.

I would go with a turbo but I am allergic to compressor wheel explosions.

I took a look, set a head on it.
The exhaust matches up but i couldn't set the intake in place and chack for clearance because of a piece of metal tubing that was in the way.
It looks like there wil be plenty of clearance.
