I used the stock intake manifolds. There is more than enough material
to machine the center out the necessary amount. I ordered two MGC
carb spacers, and machined the manifold and heat shield to match
them. I did have to trim two of the ears off the inside spacer. I am
told that the carbs will never warp with only two bolts, and to this
point they have not. I have only been running the setup for about 6
years, however. The carbs on my car are from a C, with B jets and
rich needles. The carbs on my wife's GT are from a Volvo and are
running the jets and needles that came on them.
