High_Ranking_Noob Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Looking at getting this. A local fella has it. He said it is from a 68-69 roadster. he isnt sure if it was a 1600 or 2000. Figure I would leave these pics here and hope someone here knew. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Probably not, although it does look close. Two different engines. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 The roadster used an R1600 and a U2000 (I think) for it's engines, neither of which transfers much of use to L series engines. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 ^ What he said. Roadster. Are you looking for an SU manifold? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Get an L series manifold gasket... see it it fits. 1 Quote Link to comment
kelowg Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Manifold coolant holes r in diff location,but flange does look super close to the same. Quote Link to comment

High_Ranking_Noob Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Looking for a SU carb set up. I have heard tale that the coolant holes could either be plugged or cross drilled to match. I will try to get a hold of an intake gasket and see how close it is. I live in Albuquerque, I thought that since I am close and might get it cheap if was worth looking into. Quote Link to comment

If you plug the coolant holes in the intake, the mounting flanges are functionally the same and they will bolt up and work. The real issue is that the mounting flanges are about 3/8" too far about. As in you need to section 3/8" out of the middle of the intake balance tube to get it to fit. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I will say, if it's cheap enough, and you can do the fab work to shorten it, it's not a bad plan. It allows you to run the bigger 1.75" carbs (instead of L16/L18 1.5"), and for an L20b that is a very good idea. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
