    yeap , use the one you have there to measure and just wing it man, i see some very high dollar intakes on a weekly basis , most all of them are for big cube drag racing engines with the split dominator set up, 4 NOS systems, cnc runners and all the best stuff money can buy. Make it purdy and go for it dude...... send me the pic. I would love to see the finished product, be safe
