Intresting what engine bay is that from, RWD also

[Mr Cali]

Looks like a C20XE to me with quad throttle bodies, hmmm nice

The car is an Opel Manta...........These pics come from last year at an annual weekend event.

Its more than likely a C20XE (redtop 150 bhp) engine guys :twisted:

[dannysport18]

it also has a turbo on it if you look on the right had side you can see bits that your find on a turbo car

[__Smudge__]

Looking at the way the engine is sat I would say that it's fitted with throttle bodies (Left) and if anything a supercharger is in use as all the pipes seem to lead to a belt driven compressor.

[dannysport18]

throttle bodies and a turbo i have seen this car at a show its got a lot of bhp he is a memember of www.vxlscc.co.uk the turbo in blowing air in to the throttle bodies if i remember nice car as well how much did that cost him for that engine ? about £8k i would say
