Paul,
How might this approach suit the Russell Manifold.

One tube bend behind the other, with the return to the plenum making the tube lengths even.

Only one long fuel rail.

Only 4 x 90 degree bends  - if it's long enough !?

I can't work out the best way to feed the air, as there are a number of ways, I would assume !

George (down under)

Here is how to figure out the lengths. Multiply the total number of degrees in
all the bends in a single runner by .0524 and you get the length. Since a 360
loop is eight inches across this would put the plenum at least eight inches
out from the block and the length would only be about 10 inches or so. It might
work but you will have to do a mock up or 3D to be sure.
