Seems strange to be 'offset', how are other SPF owners dealing with this?

You have a Dart 9.5" deck height and the 351W is 9.5" too, why the need for spacers or are you saying the manifold is for a 8.2" deck 302?

The Cleveland is a 9.2" deck height are you sure that's what you need? Hall Pantera sells Cleveland manifolds; make sure you get the correct one for std port heads or raised port. They run about ~$650. Kelly Colefield sells complete EFI systems bolted on his own IR manifold casting, not cheap but excellent quality. Dennis Quella at Pantera Peformance, CO also has a nice EFI set up.

As you already have a manifold bolted to the engine why not consider using that as a basis for your EFI and selling the bare 48IDA's carbs?
