They are also different wiring and different plugs.

You would have to get one fabricated.

I could be wrong, but I think the VE is also bigger.

Make one from MDF and take it to a fabricators with a CNC machine to get them to copy it.

Yea, if you take the manifold and the TB to a engineering shop they should be able to make one.
I watched Martin a tafe teacher who was a tool maker engineer, pattern maker, boiler maker and fitter turner at Tafe make one in an arvo for the Holden 5l we had there.
He just got a big chunk of steel and a hole saw on the geared head pedestal drill, I asked why he didn't go over to the metal fab section and use their CNC, but I think he didn't get along with the metal fab teachers, maybe why he was in the mechanics section.

Anyway sorry for the random story, as Fu said a fabrication/engineering shop should be able to make one easy.
