Custom Intake Manifold

[bszopi]

I have been slowly working on a semi-universal intake manifold for awhile now, but just have too many other things going on, so it always gets put on hold. Maybe this weekend I can mess some more with mocking something up...

first thought is it would be freakin sweet. if one were made that was reasonable (not sticking a foot above the hood) im sure there would be alot of people interested.

I have read the few outdated threads that there are about having a custom intake manifold.
I would like to begin a new discussion about the pros and cons of taking either a 3400 or 3500 upper and lower intake manifold, and replacing it with one piece where you could mount a supercharger on top of it, similar to the 3.8 supercharged cars.
First thing off of the bat i have considered the power steering pump and that is no big deal in my mind either through relocation or electric conversion, so lets just skip past that point, from their lets discuss drive belt routing, height issues, coolant line concerns, valley concerns, etc.


Any thoughts?
