Title: V7 sport intake manifold question.
Post by: arveno on February 25, 2017, 08:48:07 AM

Hi All,
 I was wondering if the intake manifolds from a 850 T will fit '73 V7 sport ?( without any mods )
I see both bikes use VHB 30 , just making sure.

thanks

Should be the same part. Look up the part nos. for each and see.

Ok , thanks.
going to check on GB website there should be the part # book.

But then again... The part nos. might be different. IIRC some V7 Sport manifolds didn't have the vacuum ports cast in like the 850-T manifolds. In any case, I think they're functionally interchangeable - they both put the carbs at the same angles.

Ok , thank you again. Charlie.

The " distinguished" PO drill them but did a bad job on tapping them. Instead of weld the holes and re drill/tap them  ( eventually i will do that later on ) i am going to use a set from a 850 T found on e bay.

They will fit. I put 850T manifolds and carbs on my 69 ambassador.

Knowing MG through a number of models. I wouldn't bet on them being interchangeable.  They should be but there is an outside chance that they may not.  They should fit but........
