Someday when I ever upgrade to a different intake (i.e. Air Gap), I will need the extra room or I'll have to eliminate my 1" carb spacer.

Anyway, something to think about. Maybe not "in demand", but sometimes availability creates its own demand.

Do you have a picture of what you want?

Just guessing, the billet for such a large part would be rather expensive, I am afraid. Something on the order of $60-$70. Machine time would probably be about $100, so you are looking at a $200 base.
