yeah, it's obvious that it won't fit. But it's like the distributor issue, I think that when it was on a part that was considered a "race" manifold, their expectation was that people are used to modifying race parts.
On the other hand, including it in a kit that has a low cost of entry for a full efi/ignition system puts it in the hands of regular people who expect stuff to bolt on.
I was lucky and knew in advance, I put my intake on the bridgeport and milled as much as I felt comfortable off the efi bosses. It was the distance to the top of the intake port that stopped me. The rest came out of the valve covers.
Honestly, I could have machined the intake, run cast or stamped covers and used a spacer to avoid the grinding. But the fabricated covers are huge, there was no other solution.
