Dick ,
I'm sure he has a TWM Individual Runner offset manifold P/N 8-0046 for throttle bodies or Weber DCOE series sidedrafts. Those are NLA unless Esslinger still offers them. That S offset clears a stock distributor and master cylinder.

The 2.0 EAO German motor has nothing in common with the 2.3 L Lima ( Ohio made) motor. The design was completely different and the EAO motor had more in common with a 1.6L cross flow Kent motor than any other engine in Ford's lineup. There is a 2.0 litre version of the 2.3Litre for the Ford Courier pickups, but it has nothing in common with the EAO 2.0 litre motor, it's a smaller displacement version of the 2.3L Lima.

Post by: jonz2pinto on March 17, 2015, 09:25:19 PM: Thanks.Just merely changing measurements would not bypass copyrights.Cam on one comes out front the other back.There are similarities on overall design.2.8 is german design too if i remember.One other bit of info(and from Ford book)100mph was the factory top speed for 1972 2.0 auto.I verified that but may have went faster.
