hi there

this can be made to fit.
ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/97-00-FORD-GALAXY-2-0-AUTO-PETROL-INLET-MANIFOLD_W0QQitemZ360115919730QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item360115919730&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)

you just need to swap over the brass work from your old manifold.

btw, it IS for a 2.3. they keep putting it up as a 2.0 for some reason. :-/

hi there

all the sensors on the scorpio fit into brass fittings. the galaxy doesn't use the same 'holes' or the thermostat housing, so you need swap over all the fixtures.

have a look at these photos on my muliply site.

if you can't view them, just apply to join and i'll ok it.

hi thanks for the reply
i have been looking at the pics and the brass looks like they are moulded in to the manifold can these be put into a new manifold without wrecking it
it does'nt look like an easy job to me

hi there

it's not as hard as it may seem.

there's a few of us that have done it.

just use some quicksteel to fix the brass work in.

hi there

i should add that the galaxy one will be better than a 2nd hand scorpio one because the thermostat housing hasn't been used. we know the scorpio manifold has a known issue with this part.

There is a thread on this site somewhere - I think jonnycab has done the conversion ?
£50 is a good price for the inlet manifold - and they don't seem to come up for sale very often, grab it while you can.
