How certain are you about needing to weld up to port to max wedge size? I called Trickflow after your response and they said that is not the case.
They'll tell you that it isn't the case since they don't sell a MW intake. If they sold a MW intake then they would tell you that you needed it.
If you want to make power then you need a MW intake. If you are okay giving up some power then a std port intake will work on a MW head as long as you have enough material to keep the gasket sealed up. I've tested this on the dyno before and there is a difference in power in a race engine. In a street engine it might not make any difference at all.
