    Hey all,

    I just need a hand making sure I have the correct parts for engine number 4K1-000201. Specifically I'm looking for the correct intake boots between the carbs and the head.

    I have two XJ engines. One has the bolt pattern of these intakes where the left hand and right hand pairs are opposing directions (e.g. //\\), however the engine I'm looking for replacements for all follow the same orientation (e.g. \\\\).

    In all my hunting, I'm finding it rather difficult to find a set of these intakes where they are all the same direction. Images on listings online are very unreliable, so I really need part numbers, but even that is proving difficult to nail down.

    I'm really hoping one of the gurus here can understand my gibberish and point me in the right direction. For example, would either of these sets work?
