Have made and fitted the same design complete with 4x 40dcoe2 carbs complete with linkages . will get someone more with more tech to load a couple of photos .
Its interesting how much flow is lost from bare head face compared to attached manifold and carbs , Have that Flowbench printout as well. Should have the HIF7 carbs this week to fit up and dyno next all going well.

Porsche 924 inlet manifold gasket placed on top of Daimler V8 inlet gasket 🤔

Porsche 924 has the engine slanted over by 45 degrees and Pierce Manifolds make one to fit dual 40DCOEs

https://www.piercemanifolds.com/MANIFOL ... 04.924.htm

This could quite easily be adapted to fit four upright Weber’s maybe?

Certainly for high volume flow with the 1 1/2" manifold dia.

Andrew Carpenter posted these pictures of a Tecalemit Jackson mechanical fuel injection system for the Daimler V8 on Facebook.

Posting these pictures cleared with Andrew

He has some additional information on this I might be able to add later on.

I am currently 3d printing my intake manifolds to check fitment and accuracy of my modell.

I have posted pictures on the Daimler V8 facebook page.

I picked up an SP 250 this past winter and was fortunate to have 2 complete engines, I reached out to Paul Hewitt after hearing his name mentioned in another owners you tube video. As he was nearby and is Canadian saving any exchange and shipping, I reached out
The original engine has now been rebuilt, balanced, and looks like new - will be swapping out the engine in the car with the original in the coming month.

Paul remains in business and is building some amazing Arnolt Bristol engines amongst others
