A couple of links to sites taking about the conversions.

Mot a Manta but may give you some info.

The ZLet engine is more or less the same as the redtop XE engine so dropping it in and fitting the box shouldn't give to many problems, although you might want to look at the gear ratios.

If you do it take as much of the VXR wiring as possible and then you can play with things like Bluefin for tuning etc

Cheers

I think I saw a website selling parts to install a red top on an Opel Manta. Would they work for a Z20LEH too? Anywhere to find comparison between red top and Z20LEH blocks?
