Ports are a different design but I am sure you knew that.

Those ports are circular, the ports on your head are ovalized.

In both my '86-87 and '88-89 323 parts manuals, that manifold does not exist. He doesn't specify as to where he got it from but it sure isn't NA. I would be a little concerned, ports #2 and 3 seem spaced too far outwards. My B6T manifold is evenly spaced, so is my B6e manifold. The B6e was available in the '86-87 model year but not turbo'd. Port spacing hasn't changed. The ports for the older B6e are round so the model year could be correct. BTW, a shop may be able to hog the ports out but that may reduce the manifold strength and resistance to thermal cracking.

For starters, its cast so I doubt someone spent time building a custom cast unit as they just wasted money. If it were designed for a N/A 323, the person should sue the guy that built it for him. The design is horrible for a n/a motor.

If he told you it was something it wasn't, then don't buy it. There's ways out of it.
