Do what you want to do. That's what makes us hot rodders. A challenge is a good thing especially when it works to YOUR liking. The holes in your manifold will work just fine. Just get some Hilborn deflecting nozzles. If I could figure out how to post phots on here I would show you my setup. Its an Injectorater on a edelbrock victor intake. with nozzles in about the same location with Hilborn deflect nozzles. Works really good!
