Im located in OKC OK and have a '65 Austin Healey Sprite that I am swapping a street ported 12a into. Drivetrain came from an '84 RX7 GSL. Eventually I will narrow the RX7 rear end to fit the sprite but in the mean time I will keep my fingers crossed I don't break the original sprite rear end. Planning on staying carb'd and eventually running a SR Racing modified nikki.

Thanks!!

thanks for the comments! 7dust- I'm a little under 6' and I fit ok. someone 6'2 + would have some serious issues!

Ive got a couple of options on intake manifolds that I could use some recommendations / insight on. I am planning on running a SR Racing modified nikki with either of these options.

Option 1: I picked up this manifold off of ebay awhile back. A previous owner ported the manifold and mated an adapter plate to it to allow a holley 4 barrel carb to be mounted to it. I have removed the adapter plate from it and it looks like I can go back to mounting the nikki carb to it with minimal issues. The plus is that its already cleaned up and has all of the emissions crud removed and blocked off.

Option 2: I believe is a bone stock manifold with no modifications to it (I think)

Any thoughts? Anyone know what the option 1 manifold came off of?

Thanks!!!
