Im gathering the bits to do the same thing on a 1.6 Miata engine. I have the Webers, and found a Mazdaspeed manifold. Now Im thinking about ignition and its looking like the Megajolt with an EDIS 4 and a crank trigger will be the simplest/cheapest way to do what I want to do. You might already have the 36-1 trigger wheel and an EDIS if youre using Ford bits. Turns out the 2000 Protege has the right trigger wheel for me. If thats the route you choose maybe we can figure it all out together
After much hemming and hawing, and a course change, I've decided to go with the Webers. The best price I was able to find on what I was satisfied are genuine (now made in Spain) was on Carbs Unlimited at $740 for a pair. They arrived last week, and are indeed the genuine article.
http://www.carburetion.com/weber/weber.htmAfter one failed attempt at getting a manifold (out of stock, probably won't be restocked), and figuring out the actual cost of others from the UK after exchange and shipping, I'll probably buy one of the Quad 4 Rods manifolds. I was balking at the price, and the short runner length. But now that I've been reminded how heavy the DCOE's are, having a very solid mount seems like a good idea.

It's not that much more expensive than Megajolt and will save me some money if I decide to change to EFI down the road. And you can use the DCOE's as throttle bodies so that is covered as well.
By the way, in the arguments about genuine vs. counterfeit/copy Webers - nowhere have I see that the Chinese copies don't actually work as well as the genuine ones. And in one case, the outfit selling them is actually licensed to use the name.
And I now have a set of Hayabusa ITBs that are looking for a new home.
