Okay, I understand. I would think that type 3 intake runners and intake air 
distributor would make a really good start on this. All of them would bolt 
right on and fit perfectly, leaving you everything you needed to make your 
adaptations. The intake air distributor comes with a throttle plate which you 
could use, or remove, as you choose. If you used it, running the throttle cable 
would be simple, which is always a nice thing which some people never think of 
until last.  

You could just bolt in any of the D-Jetronic injectors, and I THINK (anyone 
know for sure) that the L-Jetronic injectors would fit equally well.  

If old rusty dirty, but perfectly functional, parts are acceptable I can sell 
you a set quite cheaply and I don't think they would be very heavy, so shipping 
might be reasonable. The worst part might be waiting for the boat to arrive, 
because these are bulky enough that you'd have to do surface mail to keep it 
economical.
