Does anyone have experience with the intake manifold offered by Pierce Manifolds for Weber/Dellorto carbs? http://dkmac.okzks.servertrust.com/product_p/99003.907.html It appears to be very similar to the European Dellorto manifold, but is apparently a new part. It's available on eBay for about have the price listed on the Peirce website, so pretty economical if it actually performs well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281771238926?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT -Steve |

Steve, The manifolds (5 available) being offered by Pierce are original NOS parts, not reproductions. The only thing is that, from the photos posted, I can't tell if it's a 907/ 912 manifold (longer runners) or a short-runner 910 manifold. For street use on a naturally aspirated engine, the long runner manifold would help produce a stronger low end of the power curve. For a motorsports engine that will see full throttle a lot, the short manifold runner is advantageous. If you want a new manifold, the price is probably in the ball park. However, used manifolds are available from Lotusbits in the UK Elite-Eclat: http://lotusbits.com/elite_engine.html £40 Dellorto Intake Manifold for 907 £20 Dellorto Air Horns, set of 4 £40 Airbox, Elite & Eclat Esprit: http://lotusbits.com/esprit_engine.html £100 Dellorto Intake Manifold, short for 910 £150 Dellorto Intake Manifold, long for 910 J-H Part Number 93552 = Lotus P/N A907E0123Y ..................................... replaced by B907E0123Y ..................................... replaced by C907E0123Y |

Thanks for the info! Interesting you should mention Lotusbits. I'm visiting their shop when I'm in the UK next week. I may have to see if Mike still has any of those manifolds on the shelf. -Steve |

That could be cool. I've talked with Mike, but have never met him in person. He's a good guy, and seriously into motorsports. Ask him for a demo of one of his 2.5 liter stroker Lotus 912 engines... a streetable 300 Hp. He sells the parts kits, but the price will make your eyes water. Regards, Tim Engel |
