you can have a manifold made to suit mate as long as uve got enough clearance, its reasonably tight at the back of my bay, it is possible to run without filters (slightly dangerous though)

why do you 'need' 40mm? dont be tempted to compare them with carbs, 38mm throttle bodies will flow more than 40mm DCOEs. 40mm carbs normally choke down to 32-34mm and theyve got venturis in the airflow awell!

unless your aiming for 200bhp+ 38mm will be fine dude!

First thing I'd advise is a change to a 2.0L engine!

I have a standard 2.0L escort, and another escort with a mad 1.8 zetec lump with 40mm weber throttle bodies!

1.8 is now 165bhp, and pulls very hard even past 6,500rpm, but it's exactly the same on the road as the 2.0 as it has less torque.

Still, lot of fun whatever you chose! All the best
