Intake design for stock appearing class and needed a winter project

It is not lower, but close. I plan on roughing up the floor pretty good to give it some edges to atomize off. The one I’m running now, the upper plenum floor is 1 1/2” maybe from the carb base. Really just hammering the a/f charge into it. With this at least there is 6+ inches from carb base to plenum floor. Also I can bull nose the transition a bunch as it makes the turn laterally.
