Paul,
    Perhaps to simplify the fabricating of the intake it would be best to cut a plate on an
automated plasma table with the intake hole diameter matching the O.D. of the R&B Wagner bends,
then weld the tubes to the plate on the inside where acess is not a problem, once the tube is
joined airtight to the plate the weld could be cleaned and blended easly with a die grinder.
    If additional strength is required the tubes could be welded to the plates on the outsides on
the top and bottom where it is easy to get at. Jaime Roark Jollyflyer@riflecyber.com

Not that easy. You have a oval and not a round hole in the block intake ports.
The tubes also need to go together to keep them as low as
possible over the top of the engine for stock cowl clearance. Besides
all that we have a turbo clearance problem.
