   I think this is possible, I think an 8 valve mani i.e. for vtr will fit all 8V models.

   The 1ltr is a shorter engine block so the exhaust and manifold will hang low and the back mount of the manifold can be a problem.

   There is no back mount on an aftermarket manifold.
   
   My Supersprint manifold hangs lower but it still just manages to pass above the lower strut so it isn't really a problem

   If by back mount you mean where it mounts to the gearbox then the raceland does have this. If it's not in the correct place and you want to mount it, take it to a stainless steel welder, custom exhaust place would be best and they'll move it to the correct position.

    The 1.0 litre block is shorter but people have fitted the raceland without any problems
