Are you looking for both intake and exhaust manifolds? There is a link to a craigslist ad in the for sale section. I will see if I can find it and post the link here. Can you tell us about your project? My wife and I are just love the Jetfire cars.

That would be a cool project. Is it going to be a custom setup or do you plan to use a turbo from a Jetfire? I assume you are going with an aftermarket setup? The only manifold you would need is the passenger side. The driver side you have will work fine.

it is going to be a custom set up i am going to need both manifolds as my engine currently has a set of hedman headers on it. thinking of using a 7.3 powerstroke turbo and keeping the boost around 4-5 psi

What size is the turbo? You may need a smaller one for a 215. Even if you are limiting the boost I would think it would need alot of RPM to spool it? I am not even close to an expert on turbos so I may be way off here.

Sorry, but that's not even close to the right size turbo. Your Range Rover likely wants low end torque, and that large turbo will have much lag and only work well at high RPMs.

Frankly, you'd be performance and money ahead swapping the 215 for a 4.6 motor. Alternately, consider using the supercharger from an SC3800, which is just about the right size and makes low-end torque.
