I had a weiand a few years back & spent the $$$ to have not just that but the ports gasket matched they were off quite a bit,you might want to see how close the ports match the gaskets as well. If I did not want to invest the $$$ to pay someone to do it I would take the die grinder and only go down a inch or two and blend them in some.

I really would like to do a tunnel ram. What did you have for a carb and intake? or is this a new build? What carbs are you going with?

These intakes work great with 2 4779 carbs. with choke horns milled off sq jetted @ 80 with power valve block off on a strong 440-451 engine like yours.

Sometimes there is a little wiggle room between the top and base, so you might try to unbolt it and see how much movement there is before you start grinding. It would be worth a look to take the top off and set the intake on the heads to see how closely the ports match up.
As far as tunnel ram carbs for a race car, I like the 4224s (660 center squirters). They need their idle circuit leaned out, but that can be fixed with a piece of wire. For wide open use, they are hard to beat, that is why they are also popular with the boat boys. Grumpy was a little partial to them also. You can set them end to end and still get the bowls off, so the linkage is also straight forward.

look at the bracket that bolts througth the manifold I used a cut off wheel and grinded the back bottem side so the trottle bracket would slide under oblonged the throttle bracket to slide up or down to adjust heigth found scrap metal 1 1/2 wide 3 inch long the top part of ANDYF,S bracket I cut it up and used the kickdon section and bolted it together ,the length of the lokar cable deremined where to bolt it together also with the cutoff wheel I cut a slit in the hole of the kickdown setion so I could slide the cable througth then taking it all apart

I actually just used a factory throttle cable bracket with a Lokar cable. Don't know if you can see it.

I didn't know there was a club. I use 2 Demon 750TR carbs on my 408 small block. I did have to match the two halves of the M1 TR too. My Demons are pretty much right out of the box with only jet and squirter changes. They work great but yeah I had to fix a few things on them like the stripped squirter screw holes and one of the base plates was assembled backwards.

Shoebox whats ur combo? I have that exact intake on my street car. I had 2 450 mechanical secondary carbs on it and ran 11.70 took them off put on 2 600 vac secondary carbs and ran 11.50's the 600's also had metering plates put in the back. .030 over 440 w factory heads cleaned up a bit and comp solid lift 570? lift cam 3500 converter and a whopping 323 gear. My 60ft's were a tad better w the 450's but the 600's picked up every where else. best 60 was like 1.79 and fastest mph was 119.
I have a good friend that picked up 3 tenths by switching from 600's to 660's that's my next direction but first gotta get rid of those 323's I ran it to 6600 in drive on the highway and it felt like i was holding onto a hand gernade! 
440 2295S
fully ported stealth heads
comp solid 250 256 560 108
2 inch pro parts
TR with 2 650dps
ultimate 4500-4800
3.73s for now 4.30smax

clovis had that exact cam with his TR and was 10.8s 124 i think?

the 1987 intake has a small port in it for some BB applications. I picked up a solid .15 by porting mine on a stroker that had ported 906 heads.

I ran a pair of 750's, converted them to 4-corner idle circuits, and Dominator style secondary throttle blade adjusters. Used the Enderly linkage.

Thought I could be cheap and get a B manifold, but you are right, that is a better option.

Awesome! I always wanted the 590 but I need to keep the rpm's in Check. This 256 108 cam should drive a lil better I'd be thrilled With a 10.xx @123 with my car!

Its a simple combo that is very effective, but I still think it requires a little rpm to get it to work good. TR's by nature tend to like a little rpm. The car responded well when I moved the shifts points to 6600.
The 4200 converter hurt my car more than anything as it was always a struggle to get the car to 60ft in the low 1.50's. When I called PTC, he suggested something in the mid to high 5000 range to make the combo work better. So at the 4800 you will be a little better off than I was. Overall, I think you will like the combo and it will do what you want.

All of the tunnel rams I've seen have that problem, including two M1 tunnel rams 
Port match them on the two halves
