I knew using the barrel intake directly won't work for my scenario. I think where I am heading is to cut up the barrel intake use the valley tray area, flanges and water crossover and welding on intake runners up to a carb plate. basically building myself a single plane intake and since I have all the material I can do this for less than what it would take to buy and modify a LA intake or buy a Magnum intake. Besides I will leave the injectors in there because eventually I can use it for an efi setup just mount a throttle body and finish up the programming on my DIY EFI project.

I will post up some pics this weekend once I start cutting on the barrel manifold.
