No you don't.
Many have also used the CVH efi inlet, but the ports are miniature compared to the Rover one.

What injectors would you use with the EFI manifold? Aren't you restricted in that they are side feed?

Rover isn't to bad, but its a fair amount of work with adaption each 'end'.

Depending on what engine bay its going into, but the FRS didn't do too badly just using the '98-03 plastic inlet manifold.
