Title: Exhaust manifold for s2 pre-facelift spider Post by: droptop on April 21, 2015, 04:49:43 AM The gasket between the manifold and downpipe failed at the weekend on my 1978 s2 pre-facelift spider 2 liter, and when I took a look, the studs/nuts look like they're never going to seperate and one stud appears to be sheared off so I figure I'll need to replace the manifold.
I have one but I'm not sure of its origin. It came off what turned out to be a Montecarlo head which had VX cam boxes and cams fitted so I've no idea what it was actually fitted to! The part number cast on it is 82300503 I also have a 1979 (despite being first regd. in '82) 2.0 coupe so maybe that manifold would suit? Thanks in advance for helping cure the less than sweet sounding exhaust note Title: Re: Exhaust manifold for s2 pre-facelift spider Post by: peteracs on April 21, 2015, 04:35:20 PM Hi
The parts manual I have shows the exhaust manifold as 82300504 and is the same for 1600 and 2000 model engines on the pre f/l. Peter Title: Re: Exhaust manifold for s2 pre-facelift spider Post by: droptop on April 22, 2015, 08:05:27 AM Thanks Peter.
Looks like I need a manifold so, as my other ones are off facelift cars although I could probably use the corrosponding downpipe. I have to admit to enjoying the "hardship" of having a car that sometimes needs repair because my daily car is ultra reliable and my van is disposable (Renault) and not worth the cost of a replacement clutch ;D Title: Re: Exhaust manifold for s2 pre-facelift spider Post by: peteracs on April 22, 2015, 09:09:27 AM Hi
I would have thought the carb facelift exhaust manifolds would be the same if not the later ones as well?

Peter Of course. The gaskets certainly seem to be.

Title: Re: Exhaust manifold for s2 pre-facelift spider Post by: Neil-yaj396 on April 11, 2016, 06:35:00 AM Any clues as to where that manifold came from?
Title: Re: Exhaust manifold for s2 pre-facelift spider Post by: mangocrazy on April 11, 2016, 07:19:36 PM From memory it came from an S2FL Coupe. There was some confusion over whether it had a 1600 or 2000 engine.
