Joe;
Your best bet for those intakes is EBAY

Try Misab in Sweden, or DBilas in Germany.

I had my 40 Cannons milled out to match my 45 DCOE's then spent about 2 hours per hole contouring it all up. They came out great. It looks like they would have enough meat to go to out 48 on the flanges for sure.

I have a set of cannon side draft manifolds from a GT. will these work on a manta? sitting on the bench it looks like there's about 3 to 7 degrees up hill slope. has anybody dealt with this before? a search got me nowhere.

Juldal,

I have exactly the manifold you are looking for. I have in stock Steinmetz (aluminum) manifold for 1.9S Opel engine for twin side draft carburetor bored out to 48mm. It exactly fits into a Weber 48 side draft.

If you are still interested, I can send you a photo of the manifold through e-mail.

I await your kind reply on the matter.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Philip Colina

Philip, welcome to the site . . . why don't you post your photos here for all of us . . . just curious, do you own an Opel?

seems like a lot of carb for the 1.9L.

Okay for racing, but too much for the street I agree!

Welcome to the Opel Community, Philip.

Do you have Single Side Draft Steinmetz 45mm or 48mm
manifolds as well?

Could be LOTS of interest in those!

. . . don't believe Steinmetz ever made anything but 40SSD manifolds for Opels, Jim.

Had my 40SSD concentric machined to 48mm for my DHLA48 at the carb flanges, then welded at the top of both flanges and finally I blended the flange ports for smooth transition to the head ports by hand . . . quite a bit of work, but flows like a "mother-*#@%*^" on my cammed, 10.6CR, big-valve 2.2 . . .

GTJIM,

Yes, I have both in stock Steinmetz single side and twin side draft aluminum manifold both bored out to 48mm as we used them for Weber 48 for our 1.9S for drag racing.

Photo available upon request.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Philip

Ok Bob, here it are the photos of Opel aluminum valve cover, Steinmetz single side manifold and Steinmetz twin side draft manifold for your viewing. Thanks

. . . who dat?!

Seriously, even though pics don't show the carb flanges, I don't see any evidence of welding on the SSD manifold, which must be done if it's bored out to 48mm.



Begs the questions, were either the DSD or SSD manifolds bored out to 48mm at the carb flanges to match the carb(s)?

A word of caution here too, the two DSD manifolds are way too long to fit a GT without cutting the heater box . . .

Otto, I really love the way you have that set-up in there!!! I have a question though....do you have the air filter up in the nose compartment? It doesnt look like from the pictures that there is enough room in the plastic intake on the carb. I could be mistaken... but was just wondering if you went with one of those import cone K&N deals?

Couldn't login to site for last two days, so I'll answer and ask here now . . .

Never doubted nor said that your manifolds were anything but Steinmetz, Philip. Only thing I wanted to clear up is the bore size at the manifolds' carb flanges - 40mm, 45mm or 48mm.

I'm fairly certain that Steinmetz only offered the GT CIH SSD manifold in 40mm size and angled that manifold up slightly to offset the GT's engine tilt.

I know the Steinmetz DSD manifolds were offered in 40mm bore sizes and perhaps in 45mm, but also know that neither SSD nor DSD manifolds were ever offered in 48mm by Steinmetz, not directly anyway.

So, please settle this for us, if you would, by simply posting a pic of each manifold type with a ruler across the flange bores . . . something like this:

[pcolina]

To clarify, kindly review my posting carefully, it was never claimed that the 48mm was originally bored out by Steinmetz. I believe it was tekenaar who posted ”… don't believe Steinmetz ever made anything but 40SSD manifolds for Opels, Jim” (an assumption from my posting that the Steinmetz manifolds’ 48mm bores were original from Steinmetz!).

Again, the Steinmetz SSD and DSD manifolds were both bored out to 48mm when we used Weber 48mm side draft carbs for both SSD and DSD applications. Just to reassure, we know that we were racing with Weber 48's. Actually, just to clear the carb flanges of Weber 48, you do not need to machine it and weld it up again (question of possible minute leaks and aesthetics). To be safe, it was simply bored out manually to specs to accommodate the big Weber side draft bores. There were a lot of room for the manifold to accommodate.

I agree with your word of caution (tekenaar) that the DSD Steinmetz manifold is way too long for an Opel GT application, but again, please review the original posting by juldal (which I replied to) he was looking for… “ pair of 48mm intake manifolds for 48mm weber twin dcoe carbs for my 1.9 litre Opel Manta A”, not for Opel GT. FYI.

And to answer your other question: yes, tekenaar we are restoring an Opel GT. I also formerly owned and raced Opel Manta A, Opel Torana and an Opel Ascona. This is why we have performance Opel parts in stock. Hoping that this will clear up matters. Thanks.

I have waited long enough! Philip listed these for sale here in this site's Want Ads, I was not interested in the valve cover as I have plenty of them. I made a deal with Philip to purchase the SSD and the DSD set ups for $660.00 which $60.00 was half of the shipping cost which we both agreed upon. Well to speed things up I told him I would pay him via PayPal $660.00 and pay all shipping. Which he agreed with. Well I did receive the DSD intakes shown in his ad but as for the SSD he never sent it. And after several request to find out why I had not received the SSD, he told me that the price was now $720 + shipping which was the cost of the Valve cover included as he had stated in the original ad. Which I told him I did not want thus the agreement for $600.00 split shipping cost of $120.00 which came to $660.00 which I sent him. Now he refuses to ship the SSD. I paid all shipping for the one part I did receive which was $67.00 so end result was a set of DSD for $727.00. and he refuses to refund money for the SSD or to ship them, which I even offered to once again paying shipping for.
This guy in my opinion can not be trusted and is ripping off close to $400.00 in this deal which was agreed by both parties.Well in time though my contacts with ties to people in high authority in the Phillipines I intend on getting either my money due me or the SSD. And in all fairness Philip you can consider this a warning or a threat how ever you what to take it but 'what goes around comes around', and you will be the victim not me! So reconsider shipping the SSD as agreed and you pay the shipping.

I have two pairs of 48 DCOE intake manifolds. I can sell the one pair.
I was using them on my race cars before SCCA restricted them to
25mm single inlet restrictor. Let me know if you are still interested.
I do not know what kind they are. I have to find them and look at them.
Let me know if you need pics.

Rodney,
I purchased and received a SSD Steinmetz (bored out to 48mm) from Phillip before you guys ever made a deal. I don't know that he had 2 of these or not. I only knew of the one I purchased.

[pcolina]

To RK, Rodney, et al,

FYI to all: I still have the SSD Manifold (we have sets of them because GM Philippines raced them here in Asia before they closed shop). But computation of our good friend here RK failed him to understand.

HE ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE DSD MANIFOLD ONLY!!!!

Shipping cost aten up most of the payment he made, because it took almost 3 weeks to get the money from him thorugh PAYPAL. We have to open an account first witrh PAYPAL and open an accoutn for a bank that transact with PAYPAL.

The warehousing charges/ day ate up the cost("DEMORAGE") because payment was not received although already sent through PAYPAL. Thuas, evetrybody knew of the warehousing charges of the logitics company that handled the shipping. We recommneded for him to pay through Western Union but he still pursued PAYPAL (which has a lot of payment contests going on!!!).

So, to all logical and reasonable guys here, consider the conditions above that led to his paying only for the DSD manifold.

For the infoprmation of all.

Thanks

[pcolina]

To all concerned,

The problem with RK is that we agreed to immeduiately ship the item (SSD manifold Steinmetz) to him and I immediatelly comlpied within a day or two via UPS.

But payment thorugh his favorite PAYPAL delayed receiving the payment fro almost 3 weeks. Thus, the item was charged DEMORAGE per day (warehousing charges). this is NOT to mention the foreign exchange rate which plummeted during that 3 weeks wait for RK's payment to go through viaq PAYPAL then to bank account and clearing time.

We shipped out to him whats left of the amount which actually is equivalent to only the SSD steinmetz manifold. If he can NOT understand what his money was just able to purchase.

As to your "warning/ threat or whatever"...ANYTIME PAL!!!
