Makes no difference Jay, the heads are the same. I think the angle is about 70 degrees IIRC.

> They reckon this manifold is not made for The Rover standard Heads but for Buick 300 cubic inch Heads.

What size are the ports?  My Huffaker Rover intake ports measure 1 3/4" tall x 1" wide and are a good match for the Buick 300 heads.

HI Dan .The  ports are  1 3/4"  and 1" wide.  Yes i think  you are right  about the heads .

More than likely that manifold is BL marked as a homologation special for the factory cars. I believe any parts used in competition had to be marked a factory parts to be legal.
