No problem, I just glad you do what you do and hopefully it is worthwhile doing it.

Thanks Bob, the intake adapter has certainly made the FE engine more "modular", leading to more induction system varieties for medium risers, high risers, and tunnel ports.  I've mentioned this before, but when I did the high riser version of the adapter I made the casting even higher in the valve cover rail, to accomodate a port raised way up.  This makes my new head design possible, and will hopefully give a step function improvement in the horsepower potential of the engine.
