I would use the AMC 4cyl, late model multi port. Have you seen the intakes for them? They are a very basic "U" shape. It would be pretty easy to modify the intake. You could angle it up, or even pickup some aluminum tubing and make a custom as long as you left the injector bosses and a few inches of the intake to work from.
  Look over at ebay, there are usually intakes for sale that will show how basic they are in design. Just a big ole' U shaped chunk of aluminum, dry, no coolant, easy to work from.
