Seems to be a lot of material left in the intakes pictured.
My 420 does not have much work. I was told by the big NA guys I would be down 50 HP due to how much material is still in my 420. My plenum is quite a bit larger than the ones pictured. The runners are basically as cast with the exception of port matching and blending well up the runners.
It's too hot and I am too lazy to take some pics. Probably should sense they are for sale. But, someone will copy my unskilled work. LOL
The 598 I have was done by a local professional and looks really nice in the plenum but runs abouts the same as the others. At least one would not have to weld over any overcuts.

Where are the differences?
Divider length thickness or plenum vol?
On the fence as to using a carb adapter for dominator or carving intake.
With adapter, can at least go back to smaller carb if needed.
Also like idea of splitting the manifold, cant recall who does that.
