    there is abit more to making a intake .sounds good but you need to buy or cut out the intake plates or you could buy some tall deck intake spacer plates for the ports alignment then you will have to work on the runner length and the the size of the plenum and were you want the carbs to set will tell how long the plenum will be .you can copy a old intake for size of runner this would get you close. you have to locate the angle and make the boss for the dist you need the block and heads for mock up and the intake can get flowed with it on one head. some of the intakes i work on they use A B putty in the runner and the inside of the plenum .not trying to tell you not to do it but you will have alot of time and money in it then you think
