Doing a 2.5L now ... Easiest type to fit??? Iv got a E36 M52 with the cast type? Are they going to be able to be fitted ?
Or should I be looking for the tubular type?
Cars going yo have a E46 rack aswell in it...
M52 manifolds best type?

M52 engines all have the tubular manifolds, no point messing with the cast M50 scrap

M50 engines have an iron block. M52s are aluminium alloy.
