I'd have a look at some of the pit bike options to see whether anything they had might fit. What about the manifold of the 50 engine could that be adapted? Other than that, why not get something made bespoke to fit. A flange and a piece of steel tube with the right diameter bent to the right shape and welded together would be fine.

Local fabrication works will cut it and shut it using alloy tig welding,shouldn't cost that much for ten minutes work.
