You will need a manifold made up and modify the throttle cable.
You will probably need to swap to a megajolt for spark, this will probably add 10 bhp

Why only 10bhp ?
fitting bike carbs was the biggest bhp maker mod to my engine pound for pound

The one thing to be aware of the inlet manifold does have the thermostadt housing as part of it, it is possible to make but there are a few
complications with it.
I have modified one to suit bike carbs.
I had the 8V in my previous build and found that with the carbs and megajolt the car performed very nicely and took me around Europe with no
problems.
