[DeTomaso] Anyone interested is having some sheet metal "tunnel ram" type intake manifolds made for high port heads?

What model throttle bodies are you using? Is 2-3/8 the optimal size. I'm most interested in a cross ram.

If you make some wedge plates, you can bolt IR throttle bodies right 
to the cylinder heads. The ones I used were 1" thick at the manifold 
end, 1/8" at the valve cover end, and flared from 4V port size to 2-3/8" 
bore throttle bodies.

Making the wedge plates is a bit tedious, but it's a h*ll of a lot 
easier than making a sheet metal manifold...
