Manifold identification

Can anyone help me to identify these manifolds? I bought them ages ago when I was considering upgrading an 803 engined car to a larger 'A' series engine.
I think the top one is 948?
Middle could be 1098?
Bottom - 1275?
Cheers,

Top one looks exactly the same as the one I took off my 1098, middle one is early (998?) Midget and bottom one is later 1275 Midget just like the one I'm about to fit.

Brilliant, thanks. Maybe the 998 was from a Mini - think I was recommended that it was the best option for a 948.

I don't think so as they had a combined inlet/exhaust too, pretty sure it's off a Midget. It looks like it will line up with the Minor exhaust but you will obviously need an alloy inlet manifold to go with the new exhaust.

Thanks, maybe that middle one was from a 1098 Midget, don't think the 998 found it's way into a Midget I guess.

Yep, I think you're right. Pretty sure its a smaller bore than the 1275 item so should match up with the Minor exhaust too.

It's very far from a 'best option'....... but it's 'ok' on a standard engine.
