   it can be done.
   
   do you want to do it NO!
   
   it will probably fail an mot, its a backwards step on an injection system (although on a ford what do you expect )
   
   If you want the modern version fit Throttle bodies by someone like jenvey or KMS dth bodies, or if on a budget use some bike bodies on a custom inlet manifold

   Go for throttle bodies if you can afford it, pretty impressive technology
   
   Cams should suffice though!

   the only point of running throttle bodies is to allow for a more wild cam profile to be used, and then still maintain a good idle.
   
   just stick some cams in like catcam 708s and it will piss on zetec shites.
