Find out what intake gasket your head has ...32 or 34mm you measure the od of the intake gasket and it will be much easier to know what manifolds to get because I notice most of the manifolds folks make are the 32 I hardly find 34mm I don't know why 🤷‍♂️ but it's much easier to just cut off the ends of the stock manifold that matches the intake and make your own to your own specs like how tall you want them or short .....

He just told me he's gonna contact Riechert in Germany.

I forgot about those lol I guess it's because I hardly see them around much ...i remember hearing they where expensive ...but anyways they have them in the early 32mm gaskets and 34mm ..but it's best to know ahead of time before asking them what head gaskets you have on the heads so that your buddy buys the right ones for his heads 👍

I don't think cost is a real factor. I'm in the process of building a 2017cc Type 1 with EFI and crankfire for his 65 Bus.

Riechert Kits are available_keep on the lookout. Look in Europe_that's the best bet. My oval has the Riechert Solex 34 PCI carbs and single port manifolds on a 1500cc H-block engine. Very smooth and always come back to idle nicely. Highly recommend!

You can buy them new from the manufacturer for 1470€.

Also fabricated using stock end flanges for heads and carb base, but ended up with a clean installation on a Beetle:

Gene Berg carb linkage would probably be easiest to adapt. Use either their universal down rods that would probably need one end cut and rethreaded, or make your own entirely to use the Berg (and/or Weber) ball socket ends.

I like the use of the stock intake manifold end flanges because I have three with terminally clogged/burned out heat risers. Might try something like that in the future.

What I finally did was find a good pair of Euro 1200 dual port heads. Allows me to run whatever I want with aluminum intake manifolds. I've dialed in both Kadrons and Webers. I much prefer the Webers and will go back to them this year now that I've found the right manifold length to allow the decklid springs to stay in place on the Ghia.
