    37mm between the ports ( roughly )

    320mm from centres of furthermost bolt holes (roughly)

    They're about 88mm centre to centre on the inlet ports.

    I think Gary was talking space between ports.

    Management.

    You can keep the original ignition if you want initially to get up and running.

    You could use one of these SqirtNSpark management systems that you build yourself for 200, they look interesting and would run bike throttle bodies no probs.

    could you just cut up an old bottom half of a inlet manifold ?

    how do tbs measure airfow? is there a per trumpet measurement that can be used to modify the fuelling for each injector?
    is there any good doc about tbs and their management online?

    GTi,

    most use a throttle angle potentiometer, a vac signal, revs and temp signal

    altern8 there is a guy on vortex who has done exactly that, got it all running then sold it, so not much to go on.

    but where do you get a vacuum signal when there is no significant plenum? or is there a sensor built into the back (head side) of the butterfly casing?

    on the other issue; i'd have thought that the lower section of manifold is angled wrong - it turns straight upwards.
    especially given that you probably do need some amount (if not all of 12") of manifold between the butterlies and the head, you would want a custom 'flat' manifold on a crossflow head??

    vac signal-yeah from the head side, use all 4 branches connected together to damp out the pulses a bit

    the vortex guy used samco hoses for the manifold
