Anyone running this combo? I know the differences, so I'm sure there's not that many out there if you're already starting with GT500 heads, but I'm looking to see installed/after pics of the lower intake since the 2 front inboard bolt holes don't line up on the GT500 and GT. I've heard they can be slotted to make it interchangeable (the OEM gaskets actually come slotted to work with either head) but the GT500 intake manifold is 2-3" thick at those specific misaligned holes, not 1/2" thick where the rest of the bolt holes are, so slotting it doesn't seem realistic. Almost seems like a better option would be drill & tap a separate hole which gets tricky since the 2 holes would likely overlap.
Thanks for any info or pics if anyone has any.
For reference I've got a 2000 HD F-150 that I'm putting a fully built 4v into. GT supercar block, darton wet sleeved 5.8L, CNC ported GT supercar heads, Cobra Jet lower intake manifold, GT500 style 4.7 KB, etc. Longblock is assembled and on the stand so I'm at the point of ironing out the small details now before dropping it in.
