The carby is actually off a 1.6l cortina. As for the water heated manifold I really don't think it would make that much difference. I think Fast and the Furious have given people a false idea that pod/cold air intakes generate huge amounts of horsepower. For a race engine I would worry about intake heat but for a mild street car I don't recon it is that big of an issue.

Agreed, it won't give a big HP boost. It might be worth just a little, and only if you tune the carb to match the new lower temperatures.

That's a Weber DGV design. Does the Ford version use 32/36 bores?. The venturi sizes are listed on the side of the carb.

where's that air filter assembly from? its huge!

what radiaotor are u runnin???, im still havin trouble with my engine gettin hot. I might start lookin around 4 a gemini radiator and see if that helps at all!!!!Do u guys reakon that would be a better idea.(i have an a15 radiator at present)

The aircleaner is a Redline Performance one, made for weber 32/36.

Yeah DD its off a 1600 cortina and it does have 32/36 venturi sizes.

Tommy my radiator is an a14 one an it works great. Sits at around a quarter of the way up and sometimes gets close to half in summer. Yours too should be adequate.
Theres a few things you could check.
1) If timing is retarded too much it will increase heat.
2) When hooking everything back up did you make sure it is a flowing in the right direction.

The gemini radiator would definitely be worth getting but the A15 item should be adequate. Its not damaged at all is it?
