Are you talking about electronic fuel injection or mechanical? Lots of
Hilborn systems use "Down Nozzles" in the head. The Nissan I am familiar
with has the nozzle bores in the manifold but very close to the split line
with the head. I think it's just a mater of convenience for the tooling
manufacturer.
