Here's a comparison of the FD and Cosmo intake manifold. You can see the difference in length. The Cosmo runners are all almost identical in size and all are bigger than even the FD's primary runner.

Ok, I've learned that it's a good idea to replace the stationary gears with those out of an FD. They accept the better bearings and deliver more oil to the E-shaft. They're hardened too I believe. The Cosmo style stationary gears are identical to the TII's.

you really really should take the time and use the cosmo upper and lower manifold, You'll just need to mod your throttle cable and rework a little bid of intercooler piping and splice in the throttle postition connector.. If your missing anything like the elbow or throttle body I can probably get them for you.. I would run a 20B throttle body on there if I were you. it has the same Idle control valve as the fd on it so your harness will plug right in and control the idle. I just happen to have one for sell 
and it is all so 2mm bigger than the FD to boot..
