Hello all,
Wanted to get rid of the US spek manifold and purchased used Euro spek ones from Stu. Now car is on the lift, old US spek removed and the Euro spek does not fit to engine. Mechanic says it seems impossible without bending the pipes etc. Same for left and right. Is that possible? I read in the forums that this swap was possible and now I'm in total shock after all the hastle to bring the manifolds and Ferrari Maserati specialized private mechanic says it doesn't fit. Eurospares give same part number for Euro manifolds. I can't believe the engine block would be different for Euro and USA specs.
Issue on the left:
Sand cleaned left and right:
