Ted,
   If you are interested, TWM is offering SU-style throttle bodies with inectors
to mount on your original manifold....sure to give better performance than a
downdraft throttle body setup, but not cheap. Why not keep the SUs? My '72 ran
like the devil with them.
  If you want to try another option, you can also do a weber DCOE pattern
throttle body with injectors on a sidedraft manifold. Big bucks again.
   TWM is at twminduction.com , e-mail is twmindsb at aol.com , phone (805)
967-9478.
   As for your adapter, sounds like a local job, or DIY with some stock from
your local metal shop. Good luck with your 'B - I'd like to hear more about it.
