8v - 16v bolt pattern

**Dave** · 09-20-2007, 09:21 PM

Is the 16v intake manifold bolt pattern different than the 8v? I'm assuming so, but I would like to make sure.

Thanks,

More importantly that bolt pattern, the ports are the big difference... 8v non-cross flow has to pack 4 intake and 4 exhaust ports on the same side.

The Head on the other hand mostly bolts right on then the intake could be bolted on.

Are you starting a 16V project also?

How about the 8V 11mm ARP head studs? Are those interchangable?

Nope, too short.

Dave, nothing 8 valve interchanges if that helps.

Hybrids also need other studs,you would need the ones for a VW super vee.
