Will a midget LCB manifold fit a 1098 minor?

No. That was the first 'performance' mod I ever bought and was a failure

If you can get it cheap buy it! its extremely easy to modify it for use on a minor if you have a welder. I did that on mine before i converted to 4age running gear. Worked great, actually i sold that on eBay a few months ago i should have asked if someone on here wanted it first

no, each primary needs to be turned approximately 90 degrees via U-bends bought at your local speed shop. Look at my 4age postings and you can see how i built my header for that applicaton, its the same idea.

It's really not very hard at all. Welding the thin walled tubing is a pain though

If anyone successfully manages this without too much hassle do you think you could start 'knocking them out' to order?
