As you say John 'was' the easiest but several reasons for not going that way now. Under bonnet heat and oil feed issues but mainly the supply of these engines has pretty much dried up now. They don't sound as good as carbs either and as David says, once they are set up, they don't go out of tune.
David, I've also been talking to Bogg brothers regarding manifolds. Apparently, they have made several for the X1/9 so have the dimensions 'on the shelf'.
We'll see.
