Alex, great pictures!
Your idea for optimizing the secondaries ??flatten the bars, shorten the screws, swap from button head to countersunk screws? will make a nice improvement in airflow. We can all see the restriction the butterfly plate screws make.
But hey, why not go for broke! Bore it out to the 34/35mm 2000 SVT diameter AND optimize the larger butterflies. If you wouldn??t mind doing two of them this way, I have some bucks I can contribute to such an experiment!
I honestly think this could make for a semi-popular Dtec Tuning specialty service for owners of 95 Contours and Mystiques. I??ll bet there are plenty of these running around with SVT UIMs and stock LIMs. Did Mondeos use this same vacuum secondary manifold design back then?
