Why build manifolds? Just use the stock engine, 115HP, 50% more than an A15 without any mods.
DD E series inlet manifold points the wrong way, so you will need to do some alloy cutting and welding to make it right...so if you are doing that i dont see it as a whole heap more effort to make an inlet for the A series
and sure it has more power than a stock a15...but who does an engine conversion just to stay with the stock power of an engine
also the free engine as i think D said will probably need work, and if you are rebuilding say the engine and turbo then thats effort that could be spent buying a better turbo to suit the A series and rebuilding an A series to suit boost
if the thread was about the absolute cheapest way to get a tiny bit more power, then the free E15et has it. but you could always find a free ca18det and put it in yourself and then say thats the cheapest best option as it has heaps more power and is still free
