Kevin, I'm the guy that pointed out the 2"TBI to 4b carb manifold
adapter.  I've got one, but haven't used it.  I'm still on schedule to
do my zz3/tbi engine swap this weekend.  Meanwhile, I strongly recommend
that those of you looking to go with TBI related systems check your
local junkyards. The kids(of all ages) want carb's & the techies & well
funded all want TPI or better.  Rattle those bushes a bit....all sorts
of TBI deals abound.
