From photos I have seen the manifold fits very close to the arch of the
housings.......Did you catch the oil filter pad bypass cast as part of the
manifold ??  
 
I saw the pad, but didn't know what it was.  I looked at the old manifold pics earlier, and saw how closely they fit, but couldn't find pics of the new one.  I really could use a new intake on the RV-3, and I'll buy one of these in a heartbeat, as long as it's reasonably priced.   
 
Also the throttle butterfly opening is about 7.5mm (2.95 inches)  
 
When I looked at the pic with the ruler, I initially thought "7 inches, damn", then I remembered that converting to metrics lie they told us in school 30 years ago :-) 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (leaving soon to verify the fuel flow settings on my EM-2)
