Hi Paul, here is my cut down intake manifold, which should be very similar
to the 20B one. This way I can use the original injector bosses and fuel
rails. The top fuel is a bit high for my liking and maybe I'll need small
blister on the cowling, unless someone has a suggestion for aftermarket one.
The fuel rails have built in fuel pressure sensor (the green plug) and fuel
pressure regulator on the end of the top one. Do you guys suggest of keeping
it or installing an external one?
On top of the cut tubes I will weld on the 3" x 3" plenum with the throttle
body.

Cool! Looks like it will work great.

I assume you had
a new input shaft made for Tracy's gear box. That stock 3rd
gen bell housing looks good too.

Tracy made the longer output shaft. Today Charlie Kuss was visiting and
talked me in to cutting the intake manifold below the injector bosses and
using tube bends to bring the plenum over the engine. Here we go again....
Will let you know about the outcome.

The further down you cut that manifold the harder it is to match
round tubing. I would not do it. BTW my manifold pattern is nearly 
ready to go to the foundry. I put some of the final touches on it
today. I figure Tuesday. With a bit of porting
out it will fit the Cosmo engine. Hang in there a bit.
