I would like to acquire a s/steel 6 branch manifold. Seeing that the shipping cost from UK to here is too much for me , i was wondering how much modification would be needed to fit one from an LHD car to mine ? Has anyone done this? Its at least £90-100 cheaper in terms of shipping for me to get an LHD one from the US.

unless you can do the fabrication yourself its not worth it as you will have to chop the shit out of it to get it to fit.

i have tried it and its not really worth it in my opinion.

For the time and effort involved, plus the cost of modding a LHD manifold to fit a RHD, you would be better off paying the extra shipping cost.
