    Never thought before, but now that you mention it...
    Reads the right way when you open the clip and look at the engine from the rear of the car. Someone must have made a conscious decision to machine it that way

    I think it look’s better the wrong way around, as it’s now on a rear mounted not front mounted.

    The Lancia Thesis plenum I got is the same as the cf3 Alfa plenum, bolts straight on with no modification required. As you can see in the linked thread I’ve put it on a cf2 engine with just a bit of swapping the fittings at the throttle body end. The fitting I blanked now runs the vacuum for the fuel pressure regulator. The Kappa plenum has the different size and shape throttle body flange.

    Sat in a real one, may never wash again!

    Gents there are also the Lancia Thema components, which results in the following arrangement; You will note that the Thema plenum is shaped to accommodate the dual flap throttle body (something I originally missed, and necessitated re-purposing of the original 164 plenum!!)

    John. Looks great.
    So it looks like?
    The Lancia plate can be unscrewed from the valve cover
    You machined the plenum and somehow got HF logo on (how?)

    I eventually ended up with this arrangement, the Abarth HF badge came from ebay, and the Stratos badge was laser cut. Lancia STRATOS KEYRING HF RALLY RX 3.0 | eBay UK
    I think I still have the original 3.0 V6 LS plenum in my boxes of spares
