Magnum Intake on LA engine?

Bill, ran into this thread as an archive, doing a search on same setup. 273 getting a beer barrel intake, may drill new holes in 273 heads and tap for magnum bolts. There is a jig someone made floating around out there, you borrow it and send it back! Part of a mopar club I believe. I was actually going to use everything off a barrel intake onto a bunged 2bbl intake. Hog out the 2bbl mount and chuck the TB onto it, then MS it and follow up with a T68 turbo. And I got a 450 economaster Carb too along with a 360 intake so seems we are in the same boat parts wise. Is there a way to mount the TB in the front by the water inlet? The angle does not matter, dry air can make all the turns it needs. Make a plate over the old inlet and cut a new port up front, tig weld a new mounting pad, or will I run into a runner?
