Mike,

This is where work comes in handy. Being a CAD designer I drew up the manifold plate from a gasket & we have a CNC flame cutting machine at work so I cut it myself.

The carbs are GSXR 600 carbs with a TPS. The manifold has been remade since this picture. No matter how hard I tried the carbs kept falling out of the silicon hoses so I bought the proper inlet rubbers.

I then had the manifold skimmed on our mill at work to get it perfectly flat both sides.

The cover you mention is where the fuel pump should be, but my engine started out as a CFI engine so had no fuel pump fitted, and that is how Ford blank the hole in the head.

Hope that helps, any more questions feel free to ask.
