That engine bay looks really odd? Manifold weirdness

Don't think the heads align properly IIRC

Fanimolds are completely different iirc, won't work.
This was more popular "back int' day" when 306s were worth more than loose change and GTi6 XU engines held values of £800+ ancilliaries.
It was a cheap conversion from a 406 I think, 150bhp standard? Easily tweaked to 220bhp from memory. 8v head as mentioned, however not a bad car if/when it works. I imagine those vacuum hoses and complex array of piping would eventually piss off your average DIY spanner monkey however, when the same power can be made more reliably from a common VAG 20V lump.
