Bill,
My carbs were off in two planes; requiring the insulator modification as well as making the mounting holes larger so I could have more wiggle room.
I've actually got an old head to use for such an experiment! I think you're right: Have a machinist line up the shafts, then weld up the pipes as you suggested and deck the ends. It would really take the intake to the next level... and remove a royal pita for the owners.
Maybe I can look into that project this winter cause I sure as heck ain't gonna tear it apart after 4 months of downtime! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/nonod.gif
Thing is about the supercharger, if you install it on a semi-tired motor.. you're gonna get some mighty blow-back. I think it won't be long before they offer a oil separator kit like what Mr. Good sells. Heck, these motors have a fair amount of blow-back all by themselves much less with a blower. In my experience with boosted cars, oil separators are usually installed right off the bat.
I bought a Greddy oil separator and installed it on my TR while it was down this last time. This among other things is my attempt to clean up what goes back into the carbs. I know I get some blow-back, it'll be curious to find out how quickly if fills up.
As far as the heat shield goes, there's a guy on the 6-pack thats in pre-production for just that. I'll PM his email address so you can put you hat in if you're still interested.
