Twin 40's - Help 1.8 CVH pinto
Help,
I have just been offered a set of tiwn 40's off of a 1.6CVH engine. Looking at these I am unsure if these will fitt the 1.8 CVH serria
engine.
The problem being that on the 1.8CVH the water inlet on the engine goes into the front of the inlet manifold and is ducted to the port just under the
fuel pump.
On the twin 40's manifold there is no inlet for water. Is there anyway on plumbing the 1.8 CVH so that the tiwn 40's will work?
I guess I need to find somewhere else for the water to enter the block. Any suggestion? Photos would help!

1800 CVH - Webers
I have the 1800cvh , one way i thought of fitting twin webers is to get a 1600cvh thermostat housing and fit it to the back of the head (all the holes
are there).
Then make a thin 1/8" plate the same shape/size as the inlet gasket but blanking the rear waterway.
Then fit it between the 1600cvh manifold and the 1800cvh head with a gasket each side.
Also if you wanted to you could probably fit the 1600cvh distributor etc and have more control over the timing.
Let me know what you decide..Most people dump the 1800cvh , but I have masochistic tendencies and believe it has some merit, how many people have
driven one in a 'Locost' ?
