I have another idea for attaching an intake manifold to the head. I am only half done so far so I can't say how well it will work. No photos yet either. I have removed the outer carb. stud flange by making a horizontal cut just inboard of the head manifold. I am in the process of shaving the rest of the carb. flange to about 1/16" above the top of the manifold and have already removed the other stud ear from the outside of the manifold. I plan to re-weld the carb. stud flange to the outside of the manifold by using a jig/pattern so thatit is in the same position that it had before, just lower. I will then finish shaving the top of the manifold, including the top of the re-welded lug, to get a smooth mounting surface.
As I see it, this will allow me to use the standard carb. gasket, use one of Pat Panzera's flanges welded to a 90 degree tube, hold it on with a couple of cap screws, and have a reasonably low profile..
