1200 Exhaust Manifold

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

Does anyone have pics of an exhaust manifold from an A12? I have a manifold in my 320 (on an A12 motor) that has the ehaust / intake manifold interface and a single outlet. I could have sworn that the stock 1200 manifold had two outlets and did not connect to the intake in any way.

 

Am I wrong?

 

If I am right, does anyone have a manifold they would sell me?

The standard Datsun 1200 manifold is a single outlet. The Japan-market twin-carb engine manifold is dual-outlet.

Wow Cody, that's a great resource. I knew there was a dual outlet manifold out there somewhere.

 

Now the questions is: DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE THEY WANT TO SELL?

I suppose I could just cut the heat riser stuff off.

I have this Datsun 1200 manifold which I am willing to sell

Make me an offer. I have been offered $450 for it, the racers are buying them for $400 to $600 where class rules do not allow headers.

Wow, I had no idea they were worth that much. I don't doubt it though. Are they IT legal?

 

I can build myself a stainless header for that much...or less.

 

Thanks.

That thing isn't worth its weight in metal!

It's ridiculously easy to find them at the junkyard

with a dual outlet?

[MetalGear1200]

Yeah

[king bee66]

you can find 1200gx exhaust manis in US junkyards? cool dude

[ggzilla]

A header is better at that price :-)

 

Never seen one in the junkyard. Plenty of other Datsuns, but never for A-series engines.

I'm with Dave. Seen plenty for the early 70s L-series, but fairly sure no US-market A-series got one of these.

 

If you can find a bunch of them in the salvage yard, you should be buying them. :blink:

in my defence, on my phone it looked like the standard dual port mani<_<

[Duncan]

Yeah

 

No...

[MetalGear1200]

No...

like i said, on my phone it looked the the standard A15 exhaust manifold. that was my mistake

I didn't read the following messages before I replied. My bad. The GX manfolds are very rare and expensive to buy these days.

hate to be "that guy" but a15's didnt have the duel outlet

[ggzilla]

I once had an A15 dual outlet manifold, but I sold it.

 

Might be the rarest of A-series parts.

 

I kept a photo of it taken in my driveway

I hate getting rid of stuff like that. I had a set of carbs that were from the BRE 510 team. I was told they were on the #35 car. I also had a NOS finned aluminum 7qt oil pan with the P/N sticker still on it. It breaks my heart...

 

So if I'm hearing you guys correctly, they were mostly (all) Japanese domestic parts?

That's what I've always heard. Damn shame as lots of the L-series had them... <_<

[KELMO]

not to be "that guy" but that first manifold pic looked kinda familiar...... :P

btw that is a single outlet

[edp]

David, where on earth do you find this stuff? Both the GX & the A15 manifolds...
