Hi all! Just thought I would share my video series I've been working on while totally refurbishing the suspension on my Manta. It's partly a cosmetic refresh of the whole undercarriage, while replacing all the bushings, springs and shocks. While I'm in there, some new brake components as well...

Hello, I am looking for a Block to bellhousing support bracket from a Manta with a 4 speed for a 5 speed installation I'm doing on my gt. Are there any floating around? Jim

1975 Opel Manta project car. Not running. About 55,000 mi. On the street 3 years. In the garage since 1979. Minimal rust. Assembled an engine with 9:1 Mahle pistons, Mantapart cam, and it won't turn. Put it away and haven't touched it since. Probably got the wrong bearings. Have new...

Hi! Over the last year I've been working on putting an s197 t5 trans into my Manta largely based on the work @zippy7575 did with his GT. Read about my journey here: Installing a 2005-2010 Mustang T5 into a... MANTA! I'm at the point now where I need to have the plate made out of metal and as...

Hello Team Opel, I apologize in advance if I've posted this in the wrong section. I've been searching and scanning the forums for information and resources about lowering the suspension on a 1975 Opel Manta. I've found many threads, but somehow I'm not able to locate what I'm looking for... In...

I purchased my Manta in August 2019 when I was 17 years old (18 now). I have dreamed of owning an Opel for about 4 years now (coming from a family of American muscle car lovers haha). I got a job for the sole purpose of being able to buy an Opel as soon as possible, and I knew I had to take a...

I thought I'd start off by saying this is my first post on this site. I've owned my first Opel - a white 1974 Manta Rallye - for about 4 or 5 months now and finally got around to pulling the engine out to have it rebuilt. (It's currently at Bell and Gaines in Modesto, which was recommended by...

Hey everyone- first post! Disclaimer- I'm very new to all things mechanical so bear with me. I have a 74' Opel Manta (automatic) that was my great grandmothers. Instead of letting it rust out on my mothers property, I decided to fix 'er up. We even hit our 24,000th mile today! (Started at...

INTRODUCTION First time poster, long time member. It's January 1st, 2016 and my new years resolution is to finally showcase the work that was done to my 1974 Manta. For all intents a purposes, this isn't a “how-to” but rather a “how-I-did-it” in regards to this engine swap. The project took...

Search friendly post copied from another thread. Replace both Manta/Ascona rubber rear suspension mount bushings with polyurethane bushings for 1/4 the cost of one rubber replacement bushing. All that is needed is to shorten them up a bit as Bob mentioned above. Item: Energy Suspension Rear...
