As the title says, does anyone know if a 240 GL manifold will fit under the bonnet of a 300, the type that goes into a kind of box section at the top of the runners, don't worry don't plan to change it for mine, other ideas brewing :D

That will be the K Jet.

I think I have read some where here that it will not fit. You could maybe shorten it to get it in.

I think you'll hit the hood. The K-jet intake is VERY high.

I haven't got the slightest clue, why to fit a K-jet into a 300 series, when they came from the factory with EFI. :?

Fit a megasquirt, and a EFI manifold instead.

My B234F manifold on my 16v engine is already VERY close to the hood, not to mention the intake camgear, that's around 2cm from the hood + the cambelt housing.

I don't see anyone mentioning the K-Jet, only the manifold.

That manifold with longer runners and some size plenum is much better than the EFI manifold, which doesn't have any kind of plenum at all an runners end on the tb.

Many people have welded a fuel rail on the K-Jet manifold and modified the efi-tb to fit, as it's much better in high-hp appilications.

Though it won't fit in 300-series without cutting the hood I guess.

Yeah it was to cut down to make a custom manifold, i've decided its too much work now anyway and hopefully going to get the proper thing

There's a pic of K-Jet intake manifold in 300-series. It doesn't go too high so bonnet doesn't need much modification.. :P
