The cross flow manifold for the V8 should work much better. Problem with
the Lambo setup is that the intake runners are too short for optimum air
ramming effect. Same thing happens when installing a side draft carb on
the MG.
Most new cars have intake runs at least a foot long. I think the optimum
is about 16" for a naturally aspirated street engine, and about 12" for a
high speed race engine, measuring runner distance from the tip of the
intake horn to the seat of the intake valve. Some relatively new cars have
intake manifolds that are true works of art, possible candidates for a
philharmonic orchestra.
