Just a FYI on the Dove TW intake, it flows over 500 cfm if you do any gasket matching.  There are very few FE's that can use that airflow.  The new HR 8V-F that Chris Whitney sells flows ~430cfm as cast, and that manifold should be able to support any FE requirement with a simple gasket match.  They will flow 470-490cfm if worked on by someone who can flow them and balance the runners.  They are good as cast.  I have ported several and if I were building another 511/527/530 cubic inch HR, that would be my intake of choice.  JMO, Joe-JDC

I certainly don’t need 500cfm, 350-375cfm would be sufficient for my needs (496ci).  However, if the tunnel wedges are impossible to find my second choice (2x4 “F”) might be a more practical option anyway. 
But I’m going to keep looking up to the point I need to make a final decision.

Every 20 minute job is 1 broken bolt away from becoming a 3 day ordeal.

you say not generally but thats how it is.supply and demand.the original hi rise f and d intakes start around $2500 for a good one,and they work well in nhra stockers like the fairlanes,in the 9s in stock legal trim.why not use one of them?
on another note,sohc intakes can start at$5k,like the ones on ebay.
there is another alternative,have one cast for you.wih the new tech in printed sand molds for aluminum castings,its not as cheap as regular castings but it can be done,just need the digital designs for.

When I say not generally, I'm saying where they tend to trade and not that one that sells at high water mark. Having a intake on eBay for 5k also doesn't mean it sold for that. I have sold two of these said intakes . One i sold a buddy and cut him a deal on, the other I got what I felt was market value. Usually a set of heads with matching intake will be in the 5k range. As for the F , Robert Pond sells them brand new for $2250 plus the ride. Attached is the last complete set that I know that sold. https://www.fordfe.com/viewtopic.php?f=664068&t=168897&p=1143166#p1143166
