Low rise intake will work with MR heads, if that's all you're worried about. And it doesn't look like anyone has tried to assuage your fears about that so far in this thread. You just need to pay attention to your manifold/head gasket sealing areas, especially below the intakes ports.

While many people will fanatically attempt to port-match intakes to head, a slight mismatch can actually be beneficial, shearing the air-fuel mixture just before the valve. Creating a balloon in the air-fuel route from carb to valve in the name of "port-matching" can do more harm than good.

As for the "correct" parts? An earlier poster said it all...Shelby would put any part or combination of parts you wanted on the car, as long as you paid him.
