Will this fit a 1.4 8v sri engine for twin dellorto 40's? it came from a 1.6 nova and i'm unsure if the heads are different.

It will physically fit yes.
But the port shapes are for a 1200/1300 engine.
So flow wont be ideal.

the main difference is the shape off the ports betwwen the spi and mpi engines. so bein off another mpi engine it should fit fine the port shapes should be the same

so the inlet on ebay is actually for a 1.2/1.3 port fitment but worked on a 1.6 8v but the ports may not match? is the difference 1.2/1.3 oval and 1.4/1.6 square or something?

it says its for a 1.6 which will be a gte or gsi which are multipoint. and so is the sri so they should match up its basicaly the same engine. it will fit down to a 1.2 but the ports wont match.

 do you believe everything you read on ebay, it wont fit a 1800 as they are big blocks bar the corsa one but thats 16v an wont fit either.
Thats not a 1600 nova manifold (they have round ports for multipoint engines)
It will physically fit but the ports wont match up. End of
