No need to make an intake like I did. Smittys garage on youtube swapped a mikuni onto an 8hp with the intake/carburetor in the ebay add. He said out of box the vm22 carb-intake was direct bolt on to an 8hp briggs.. Also a pz27 should bolt to the 8hp Briggs block with no intake at all.. just carburetor bolted directly to the block with the stock carburetor screws.
