Question is can I install any carburettor and inlet manifold which are intended to Mini??? Are carburettor and inlet manifold brackets same any engine type? If someone sels two throttle inlet manifold and dellort carburettor, can I be for sure that those thinks are fitted to my engine.
Question two. Does any exhaust manifold fit to any engine?

Not really right at all.from what i've seen all mini inlet/exsaught ports are basicaly the same apart from on say a stage 3 head which has the inlets ports on the front rater than the back. so pretty much you can fit any carb or exsaught but the inlet manafold is normaly a pretty universal affair. apart from on dual carb set up.s
Stage 3 heads do not have the inlet ports at the front of the head, 7 and 8 port heads do, which are a different type of head entirely. All 5 port A series heads have the inlet and exhaust ports at the rear, no matter what stage.
Inlet manifolds are not universal. The manifold has to have the right stud spacing to except a specific carb, so you won't be able to use a webber manifold for a different type of carb. However, if it has the correct stud spacing at the head end for an A series then yea, it will fit on any A series cylinder head. Whether that particular carb will work well on a given engine depends on the carb and engine its going on, for instance a 45 DCOE webber won't work well on nearly all 998s.
As for your first question, I really couldn't work out what you are asking, however I hope I have somewhat answered it above.
The second question. Yes, technically any mini exhaust manifold will fit any mini cylinder head, however its best to use one thats meant for your engine size, ie. Freeflow LCB or standard small bore manifolds on small bore engines, 3-2-1 LCBs or large bore manifold on large bore engines. This way you won't be restricting a large bore engine, or losing back pressure on a small bore engine.

The carb that should be on your engine will wither be 1" 1/2 or 1" 3/4 HS4 or HIF44. The HIFF 44 from a metro with manifold will be fine up to around 115bhp

To fit a delorto you will also have to make bulk head mods like in the webbers.

From where I can noticed what carburettor I have. Is there code or what and where is it? Did I understand right that I don't have to buy new carburettor if I have this HIF44??
