Hello,
@ Hiro, I think, the "opelgtmaster" has mixed some details. There are two different 2,4CIH engines existing.
1. the 24E, used in the Opel Manta B I240. It was a special edition, produced by Irmscher. It´s output was 136PS at the crank. It was operating with all the forged stuff of the 400 engines.(except the pistons) The valve size was 45/40. It was mounted a nearly simmilar to the 2,0E head.(valve size was less in the 2,0E).
2. the C24NE, used in the Omega/Frontera, with an output of 125PS. This was the engine using the head with the highrised intakerunners. Valve size was 45/40.
The only head with the valve size 48/41 I knew, was the group 2 (sweden) head.
To use the C24NE head in a GT will be difficult. Even with the Weber side draft application, using the shortest intake manyfould, you have to cut out the heating box, I think.
Well done C24NE engines are capable to produce 180 hp with the LE-jetronic, 230 with 45-weber, group 2 racing engines up to 260hp and more.

regards Jörg
