About the<br> only way to get around the physical space restraints that I can see<br> is to have an adaptor fabricated, that fits between the throttle<br> bodies and the plenum, which effectively turns through 90 degrees and<br> makes the two throttle body intakes point downwards. Then two hoses<br> could be connected and run off to join up with the plastic air box which is<br> now mounted to the left side.
