Default Conversion of Cvh/Zetec using a Rover Inlet???

Anybody heard of this???

I was just reading about a setup using a rover inlet manifold which is supposed to be an upgrade on the original based on the fact the ports are much bigger and it a straight swap........

I happen to have a 620Turbo inlet with fuel rail..............

The oval ports of the manifold wouldn't match the CVH head's round ports very well. This manifold is often used with a zetec head though as it's a reasonable match in port shapes.
