Well, first I would go to the "Technical Forum" on here and ask, instead of the classifieds ;)

Which intake? My unused Blue Thunder MR 2x4 is just like my factory MR intake, and I have my tins on it. So although I have not ran the Blue Thunder intake, I don't know why they wouldn't fit. Got any pictures? Sometimes they can be trimmed to work on new heads, sometimes they just have to be eliminated.

I moved it here.  It sounds like you have the long-finger drainback tins, which won't fit all intakes.  You can just trim the tins to fit, or get a set of the other style.
