[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 86, Issue 9

[gerryvz]

Hello Egill,

The headers are indeed for a 560 motor. However I have decided to keep them; they are going to the coating shop tomorrow to get ceramic coated.  My SEC becomes smog-exempt (by Texas law) in two years, and I intend to build a new, hopped-up 560 motor using these four manifold sections to be ready for that time.

With patience and persistence, sets of these manifolds can occasionally be sourced on either side of the Atlantic .... for a price, of course.  As a substitute, you can also source the more common "Euro" manifolds that are similar-looking to the US units, which are nearly as efficient as the Tri-Y units.  May be the way to go to improve efficiency.

Cheers,
Gerry
