Can you port match a standard intake so the runners line up with those on W-2 heads?

If you ignore the difference in bolt holes and the difference in flange angle, can you make a standard intake fit W-2 heads so the ports match?
 
:( That sucks.. I found a good deal on a set of W-2s that might be perfect for this sprint car build. Unfortunately I'm running a Chevy injection manifold that I'll be adapting to fit. Do you think I'd be able to make it work with adapters? What do you guys think? Otherwise I'm going to end up getting Edelbrock Performer RPMs or Procomp heads.
 
There's a build up where they run a rpm air gap.
They drilled new bolt holes, and ported and epoxy the ports to match

I wondered where you were getting the stacks. I don't remember if you can weld that stuff up. If you can weld the stacks you may get it to work. You will find it a PITA big time to set the butterflies. Takes time and patience.

I learned along time ago the Flying Toilet was worth it's weight in gold. I doubt you can use one thought.

The W2 heads would be killer if you can make it work.

and it will save me $800 at least
 
According to what I've seen they only flow about 250cfm though? :/ Is that correct?
 
They are 250-ish in stock form but go much higher expertly ported:


FLOW #’s

LIFT--------AS-CAST---------PORTED
.100”------62.1/44.9------------82.8/55.2
.200”------124.9/101.8---------148.4/107.6
.300”------179.4/138.0---------205.3/160.4
.400”------220.8/151.1---------255.3/193.2
.450”------238.7/155.2---------273.3/203.6
.500”------252.2/155.2---------291.5/208.7
.550”------258.4/155.2---------303.9/213.9

.650”------253.6/155.2---------324.3/215.7

I believe Ed Hamburger (For 340' & 360's Only) use to make some adapters to use Chevy intakes on Mopars. Used them on his SS cars. That was before there was a good variety of Mopar specific versions to choose from. Couldn't hurt to ask around if any might be collecting dust somewhere.
 
I have been wondering about adapting a RPM air gap to W2 heads. sounds like it can be done. I wonder if Edelbrock would make one custom. but that sounds $$$$$$$$$$
