UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear. HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

    How close is the ford KA intake manifold to the Kent?, the engines look remarkably similar.  I see a few KA's in local wreckers, maybe you could use that as a base

    That is for the throttle body only.
     
    You will still need to make a manifold, with injectors, get a loom, fuel pump and and ecu to run the thing at a minimum.
     
    You would be better of adapting something else.

    80mm is way too big for a Kent motor. Those throttle bodies whilst ok quality do not use a non-linear linkage rate which is mandatory on a small motor. 60mm is about the biggest you will want.
