As long as the injector bosses can be hack sawed off to clear the turbo I have
no objections. I personally will mount my injectors over on
the cool side of the engine. Nothing worse than an in-flight fire IMHO.

You guys should make a larger manifold that goes over the top of the engine, and have injector bosses on the far side, maybe even have a flange for a mustang throttle body.

That pattern would cost too much Hans. A pattern making novice like Tom can 
probably handle making this pattern but a pattern like what you are talking 
about is far far harder to make. There is a another factor too. Tubing is 
lighter than a casting. Yet another advantage to this is it can be tuned
by changing the length of the tubing. Even Tracy can use it and make a 
dynamic chamber intake system if he wishes.
