Zen supplied a couple that I no of.
In my experience its just easier to have the manifold in the original position and just have the tb switched by welding a plate and swapping it to the front, you should be able to find a good alloy welder to do this for around 100. Even with the wedge it’s pretty close to the bonnet. And this way you don’t have the icv at the front.
Alternatively any good machining shop should be able to knock you up a wedge assuming you give them the correct measurements.
