Run the carrier pipe off to the left. Either cut the Ford carrier to reverse it or use silicone bends and tubing depending on clearance

Thats a 'blakey' inlet pipe i think, very few made.

Im running the efi inlet and engine in my ka but it has an ovaled pipe on the rocker cover (L-R) going 90 deg into the TB.

If you got an alloy 120deg bend you could maybe have an engineering place heat it and flatten it a bit?
