you can get K&N filters for the standard carb. classic mini parts suppliers can do them, as you'll find the same carb on some minis.
people will tell you the K&N's are really noisy, but i've never found it to be an unpleasant noise personally!
you can get a tubular manifold, or a cast one. the cast one you're refering to (i think) is a marina one which is a scaled up version of the minor one. but that is designed to take a different carb, either a HS4 (bigger version of the minor one) or a HIF series carb.
gimme a second i'll see if i can find a link to the stuff mmjosh was selling.
