Sorry for the delay. Between being on vacation and away from home, I was and still am having a problem getting pictures off my phone onto FABO
So this is what I have inside the house and EZ to get.
While staying warm! LOL!
The powder coated MP standard port TR done by @CudaChick1968 in Alien Silver is standing up and is otherwise identical to the laying down MP W2 TR.

Below are a pair of W2 intakes purchased throughFABO members, Thanks again fellas.
The painted one is a MP W2 street intake. "Street" because of the water heat to under the plenum area. It does have a "Air Gap" area to keep the runner cool (isn?)
Next to it is a Holley "Street Dominator" intake for the W2. It also has the same exact water heat passage as the M1 BUT no air gap area around the runners. These are pretty close to identical except!!!! In addition to the openair area on the M1, the carb entrance is different and the Holley's runners are a bit more narrow.
These have been collected by me for messing around with later.

It is indeed your old red one.
No you can't get it back...
Did you buy it from Ddad4 (?)...He ended up with my 73 340 4sp B5 Dart Sport .
It went thru a few owners before him and from coast to coast.
That is the one I am after! I've been on the hunt a while.
Which one is THAT one ?
The LD340 for W2
Nope!
Oh ok... You know it would be interesting to see the Mopar dual plane along side the LD340TA... they appear similar. I wonder if its a DC marketed LD/TA ?
Apperently I didnt buy the only one ...lol
That it uses the same gasket and top from/for other makes?????
Shhhh...!

Can someone take a picture of a W2 intake gasket laid on top of a standard LA head or intake? I want to see other than the bolt holes, how much work it would be to match the port shape on an RPM Air Gap.
Here ya go....

Thanks. Not a walk in the park filling in the corner radii on the LA side, but should be doable.
The question is, is there room or enough meat to make the work to be done possible?

Well, we know it's been done before, or at least claimed to have been with good results. But I can't find an pictures of the mods. I just finished mounting the Air Gap on the motor last weekend so I can't verify on it. It's just bench racing at this point in the process until I fall into deal on some W2 heads. What guys are able to accomplish with the new TF head or a more capable follow up and their new intake may make it a moot point.
I am pretty sure it would take a pile of welding rod or bulk cast aluminum burned in to the outside of the runners towards the flange to have enough material to make it happen.
