Title: 3525/3525A Inlet Manifold
Post by: DavidGT40 on October 15, 2025, 09:29:03 PM
Are there any differences between 3525 inlet manifold and 3525A racing engine manifold, what are they?

I have the blueprint for 3525 and looking to upgrade my copy to a better condition copy, if anyone has one.

Post a copy of your blueprint so everyone knows what you're talking about.

The "A" on the end of a part number signifies the first change - B second, C third, etc.
If it's not a significant change you'll need to compare the 2 prints (or parts) to see what changed.

Is there an F in front of the AV?

My information says Sterling Metals LTD did the castings for the Mk1. Most parts came from England.
