You might want to check with Paul Swartz at swartzracingmanifolds.com. He built a 3 piece billet manifold for my high riser FE. He can probably modify the head plates if you can talk him into it. Good Luck. Tell him Russ sent you. A couple of pics for you to see his work.

It will take probably more than just plate change. The plates would need to be thicker perhaps and would need to have TP tubes would need to be fashioned in so I would think the runner may even need to be bigger,certainly round. I would have to send him my mainforld to pull dimensions from. An even better way would be to send him my block and heads too. I realy don't have the energy anymore.

Now if I had the money to order a new SPF GT40 and build another alum FE I could find the energy real quick!

I really would like to find a piece that was totally sorted out in terms of fit. If off just a hair then the pushrods might rub or oil leak out the back.

Interesting approach. Looks like the runners from the Ford TP intake were cut at the base and rotated up and welded in. Then flanged and bolted to a Weber style plate.
