A quick question: Would an inlet manifold off an SD1 be a straight swap for a P38 (GEMS) one & would the P38 plenum bolt onto the SD1 manifold or would the original have to be retained?
Cheers, Chrisall.

A quick question and therefore a quick answer.
Although the manifold will very probably bolt to your engine OK and the Gems plenum could possibly bolt to the manifold, the rest of the manifolds fixings will be wrong.
Sensors are in different locations and could be different threads. The SD1 has an extra air valve and the gems does not, The coolant pipes are in different places and different configurations.
What are you trying to do?

You need to expand the question. The answer's perfectly good as you asked it.
GEMS is way different to the SD1's injection system though, which was probably a lucas flapper system like the early injection Rangies, although I'm quite prepared to be corrected on that.
