This question has come up before when a member was trying to model a particular Anglia gasser that ran Crower injection.

There's lotsa Hilborn-look BBC stuff out there, but to the best of my current knowledge, the only 1/24-1/25 Crower-look injection setup is in the Accurate Miniatures 1/24 McLaren kits. They're kinda big for a 1/25 model.

The slightly splayed injector bodies of the Crower units make tooling more difficult, in order to get the parts out of the dies after molding. Most of the "Hilborn" units in models have straight bodies (and many lack detail too) that makes them easy to de-mold from a simple die. The Accurate Miniatures injector bodies are molded lying on their sides in a split-die with details on both sides. This requires very accurate tool registration, and accounts for what passes for Hilborn in most kits being much simplified.

You might be able to take a tunnel ram intake and cut the upper part off and use tubing to make the injector bodies.

The AMT '69 Chevelle kits have a Crower-ish injection setup for BBC. Maybe not 100% accurate or very detailed but the port spacing is right at least.
