Slant 6 Wooden Carb Spacer?

Was thinkin of getting a 2 barrel carb off a 318, and adapting it the my stock 1 barrel /6 manifold. 2 inches high..1.75 inch hole for the intake manifold..and on top an oval hole for the butterflies of the 2 barrel. what you think? wood is an awesome insulator, and can coat it to resist oil/gas corrosion i think.
