Paul,  what are the maximum temperatures the  intake (in the housing)
will see?   I am selecting the epoxy to bond in the P port throttle
bodies.    I did contact Racing Beat to see what they used.  It is
Devcon but which specific product I could not find out.   I bought what
the sales person "thought" they used but it is a repair material about
as thick as peanut butter.  I want something that can be poured and is
self leveling.  If WEST can tolerate the temps,  I may go with that.  I
am open to advice from anyone.       Jerry

Epoxy works great. The temp is limited to about 200 F heat soak.
When running it is cooler. There are some high temp epoxies that work at
300 F.

This Aeropoxy product looks like it may be just what you need:
