has anyone modded their own LT1 intake for the L98?

i've seen the pics at LT1intake.com and think i can do it at least as well as they did, like not pretending JB weld is actually a weld and making up fancy sentences somewhat equivalent of "original intake bolt holes are filled with a cold weld" instead of "we glue em shut with epoxy, it'll work unless you want to powdercoat"

i dont want to pay $1000+ for a miniram or $400+ for someone to mod a junkyard intake for me, and i have 2 to play with.

is there a source for the distributor plate?

i already have to pull my intake over the winter to fix end seal oil leaks and plan to delete the AIR injection system while i've got it off since my "lifetime warranty" pump has a bearing failure and needs replaced annually.

i'm not interested in modding them for sale or anyone else, i just want to make one for me. one guy on other site who was doing them only asks if perimeter or centerbolt valve covers so i don't trust him to provide proper center bolt hole angle nor have i heard the best of the machine work. and i'm more than willing to invest the $400+ i'd pay into tools to get the job done that i'll have forever.

Hey, I have an idea, I hear Pr0zac has one complete, make him a ridiculous offer since it's just collecting dust in his garage, maybe he'll take it.
