All,
I need to lower/remove my existing inlet to allow a standard raw bonnet to be fitted. I,m thinking
about creating a new plenum on the lower part of the manifold then remounting the throttle body
towards the front of the engine. I can not lower the engine as it will foul the chassis.
I,m wondering if this will work or if there are other manifolds that could be used/modified?
Obviously i expect some cutting and welding
Thanks in advance

There are compact plenum type manifolds made for the Zetec (e.g. Griffin) and since you can buy an adapter plate to fit a CVH manifold onto a Zetec head, presumably it's possible to do it the other way around?
I'm putting a RST engine in mine and I was sure i'd seen a photo of one with a modded inlet, i've had a dig through photos i've
saved and found this, which is probably the sort of thing you need.

It looks like in the photo I posted they are using a twin webber inlet manifold with the custom plenum
Would be easier to make a complete plenum and manifold from scratch as i did, pics in archive.
A Rover M or T series inlet manifold fits on to the CVH head without much modding. Do s web search on it it should turn up info.
I have a Rover 820 turbo manifold in the shed
Could you adapt this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ESCORT-RS-TURBO-MFI-RACE-SPEC-INLET-MANIFOLD-WAS-RUNNING-300-BHP-as-in-pic-/281266176232?pt=U K_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item417cc540e8
