Do you mean six branch manifold?
Well yes the 2.7's did but they were made of mild steel and often rotted out and were replaced with standard exhaust manifolds.

On a positive note, at least he will have plenty of time to finish it

i just know had a phonecall about the car a few weeks ago. The story with the car and what it presents in terms of genuine C2 2.7ness don't add up. I'd be well wary of it, don't get me wrong it has alot of nice parts fitted. The oil spraybar isn't fitted onto the head. I can't imagine the camshaft will last long without it?!?

In his feedback , I notice he has served the 'uni chip' that had been fitted to his Alpina . Whatever it is, I am sure it has some tales to tell, what with the house explosion and stuff
