Now you can modify the flange byt welding on extensions to the flange and drilling new bolt holes. At this point the runners will match up. I am trying to do this as we speak with a 94-97 intake manifold to fit on to a 99-00 head to see if there is are any gains from this simpler maifold.

Yes and No. The bolt pattern is the same for the 94-97 as th 99+, but the problem is the runners are shifted 3/4" higher in the flange for the 99+. So it will slide directly on, but the runners will not meet up.

Its also good that others are doing this testing. If it were me I would probably just risk disaster and JB weld some inserts to the flange. Welding is a good idea.
