Its been about 7 years since I did anything substantial with my Rover. I'm finally dusting off boxes of parts from a CUX engine I'm rebuilding. At some point I grabbed a 4.6 GEMS intake and front cover(I think that where the cover is from?).

Is there any way a 4.6 GEMS intake could possibly used on a CUX engine?? I'm trying to recall why I even grabbed it at the scrap yard....

youd need something for the distributor vacuum advance. and i think the stepper motor has more steps closed to open, but you probably wouldn't notice that

valve cover breathers are all different, but you might be able to use the 14cux middle plenum. i dont know if it hits anything
