Lower part only, don't need the velocity stacks or plenum chamber or even the injectors. Would be used in a Megasquirt project with motorcycle throttle bodies Twisted Evil

You would have to fabricate the lower part from scratch im sure. The stock lower part is way too wrong shape to be used for motorbike bodies.

You seem to lack faith Smile

It wouldn't be a permanent installation for sure, but it's enough for testing.

What I have in mind is something like this:

but for testing I would try something like this mated to the EFI lower manifold, and throttle bodies instead of plenum chambers like in the picture.

I don't know how much clearance there is under the bonnet and what would be the optimal length for the intake runners, so I wouldn't want a setup like this if runners would need more length than what's available - they wouldn't fit!

So maybe short stubs and then length of silicone tubing and perhaps a throttle body over each rocker cover in horizontal position or maybe a custom made aluminum one... like this:

I've never tried to weld aluminum so I don't know - The tools I'm minded to buy. But I might just get AM Works to do one for me if I find a suitable solution.
