I'm glad I'm not the only one with the affliction of such things.

It has occurred to me (not that I'll do anything with this) that
there's no reason intake runners have to be cast metal. I keep
imagining a cast flange, semi-rigid plastic tubing of the right
diameter, up over the valve cover, to a plenum for the carb(s).
Nice long runners. Plenum could be a flat plate bolted anywhere.

I happen to have such a thing... though I did think of this
before I obtained this object:
