Default EFI Head, Adapter plate or head work?

Just wondering it the standard mfi head can have the injector cut out ground into it? or does it hit a water gallery or something?

Failing that does any one have an efi head they want to sell?

Or

Any one know where i can get an efi adapter plate, other than ferriday engineering £107 bloody quid!

Cheers

Rob,

either way will work pal.
you can open the ports for injector cut outs, remember MK's mk2 fiesta?
in blue properly modified track car, that had an mfi head with ports opened up to give injector cut outs, no issues there.
i run an adapter plate on mine as it was only £25 to my door, although i got longer studs from a supplier locally for a couple of quid.
