short answer yes... there are quite a few guys running the performer RPM.. but just check if there is a low rise and high rise version.. if so.. go the low rise. It will also depend on the engine mounts, are you running the heat sheilds? If not it sits the motor a little lower which helps.

Hi Mal,

The F4B manifold offered in the LAT options was a high-rise manifold, but I'm not sure what height it is. I would think it would be similar to the performer RPM manifold, so should fit under the bonnet. Just double check your heights before committing to anything.

Regards, Robin.

Thanks Michael & Robin.

The engine was built with the performer rpm intake instead of the lower performer. I was a bit concernd as I thought it was going to have the performer. I had a quick measure up, which was not perfectly accurate as the cowl panels are not on the car yet, and it was not looking promising.
Things are now looking positive.
cheers mal
