Probably a stretch. But does anyone happen to have the measurements of the factory lower manifold? maybe even a cad file or something? I'm wanting to see how I could modify one to fit a b head motor. I'm hoping to use this manifold to do two things at once.

I dont think it will work because of the distance between the intake ports on each head.

This is why Kenne Bell couldn't fit an intercooler in their 96-98 cobra supercharger. There just wasn't any room for it.

By looking at the intake gaskets for both heads it seems possible. Looks like the I could mill out the space between the ports on the b head to make it match the c port. Would be a lot of work, which is fine. I’m just trying to find some exact dimensions before I try to buy a $800 lower intake.

I don’t think I explained myself well, I'll try again.

The distance I am talking about is the distance between the two heads and the space left in the valley.

The space between the heads isn't large enough to allow the manifold to sit in the valley from what I recall.

Again this is why Kenne Bell never offered an intercooled kit. There simply isn't enough space in that area to allow for one.

If you're trying to install something other than a Terminator manifold then I have no idea.
