BTW I think there are some off the shelf throttle arms and ball joints for
throttle linkages somewhere.

  Maybe TWM ? They have various throttle bodies listed on their website and
list linkages too. BDS (Blower Drive Service) used to sell that sort of
stuff a number of years ago but I dont even know if they are still in business.

  Are you going to try the peripheral port route on your own engine? I'd
like to try it but Im afraid I'm not quite that much of a pioneer. When I
discussed it with Everett Hatch a few years ago he implied that its not
quite the simple no brainer that it appears to be. He said he spent a lot
of dyno time coming up with the proper port timing, shape, size, etc... But
of course he had a financial interest motivating him to say that. If
someone tries a home brewed PP setup in the near future Id sure be
interested in hearing about how it works out.

I am tempted as it makes the intake manifold and air box simpler.
I am going to merely copy Jim Mederer's size and shape. According
to the Mazda SAE papers I have read and uploaded here the timing is not all
that critical.

I would also like to remove the partition in a six port end housing 
and see  how much power I can get with that configuration.
On the other hand  I really want a turbo.
