Biggest advantage, IMO, of the 907 was that it was aluminium, rather than a heavy hunk of cast iron. Look familiar? jalopnik.com/5246633/engine-of-the-day-lotus-900-series

Not to the twin cam, nor Chevette engine. Will bolt to 4ZC/D/E1 and G180/200z.

i know theres a twin sidedraft one which was off the 117 coupe/bellet twin cam which bolts straight on. those were only released in japan though. been looking through ozgemini but havent found anything yet. may have to splash out on an ecu as a custom/import intake manny would probably cost the same money anyway.

GTR Replica's made them, in sydney apparently about 10-15 years ago I think the story goes..
Can use original dizzy as the ecu's are pretty primitive, they 'fire' the injectors off the pulse from the distributor, so really its not firing the injectors 1-2-3-4 rather 1234 all at once, so just a fancy carb really lol...
I had my manifold's made up for roughly $60 including the 13mm thick flanges, have been tig'd and then the flanges have been milled flat...
Depending on dizzy, use pulsar rotor and cap.. fits straight on.. And thats electronic ignition..
