Dear All,
I'm just getting into re-enabling a recently acquired S2A 109 traytop with a 186. It was originally a 6 cylinder vehicle, so it hasn't been butchered to fit the 186. It's an old but very neat conversion using a Dellow adaptor, etc.
After sitting for 20+ years the engine has fired up and runs well but I have cooling system issues in that all the hoses are hard (as expected, and easy to deal with), etc; the biggest issue is the heater hose spigots on the inlet manifold are cactus, rotted off, non-existent.
So, I'm looking for an inlet manifold for a 186 specifically from a HT-HK-HG series Holden, any suggestion on where to look?
Regards,
joe

Try a Wanted to buy ad on Facebook Marketplace. There must be hundreds of them sitting in sheds around Oz.

Just don't hook them up? All the red motors i had years ago i never hooked them up, but most had aftermarket manifolds for holleys and tripple carbs.
Look at Redline and Speco, the price of new may surprise you.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
G'day Rocket,
sounds like you have a good project there to play with and take up some of your time and hard earned cash.
Be great to see some pics of the vehicle and a few of it under the hood, the Dellow conversion plate and engine mounts etc.
Is it a Dellow Conversion that uses the Land Rover starter motor?
Running it without the water heated manifold won't make much difference, might take a bit longer to run smooth from start up.
Good luck with the project.
Cheers, Mick.
