I think that we're forgetting that the Tiger came in both LH and RH drive
variants. On the RH drive models the steering rack gets in the way of
everything. Even the lower radiator hose has special fitments to get around
the steering column. I would guess that you might be able to fit a standard
Ford exhaust manifold on the RH side of a LH drive Tiger, but not on a RH
drive. I wonder what the exhaust manifold of choice is for Alger builders.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] 260 intake casting numbers
Ron,
You are correct on the order for thousands rather than hundreds. I guess it
was for 300 per month. The 300 is what stuck in my head. I guess an order of
4000 might justify a special manifold.
As I am under my car and look at the exhaust, I can't see the necessity of a
special manifold. The space on each side looks about the same to me. It
looks like a normal manifold would physically fit. I wonder if anyone as tried
a standard 260 manifold in the Tiger. I wonder if the special was for some
reason other than space limitations.
