Previously we cut them at an angle, and then you can epoxy it while you bolt it down onto the motor. If you let it sit it, it form fits and is just as strong as the factory intake.
For this build, we're making our own intake because we decided to throw a supercharger on it.
The crank will be balanced, and should have minimal vibrations. No more than a v8. I'll let you know if that changes though.

Incredible. I grew up working exclusively on Z cars in my dad's shop, i've always loved the platform. They are getting harder to find not completely rusted away and LS swaps usually overpower the frame of the car.
I just installed a LS4 drivetrain in my Diablo Roadster kit car.
I was building a reverse rotation (installed/not engine running backwards) LS with a th425 with a Chevy Colorado front 4x4 diff but I decided to just go the easy route with the LS4.
A LS V12 would be badass in my car;

That would fit in my F-body pretty easy. Keep up the good work!! 
An idle clip video of this will be very lovely! Lol
How about the cam specs on the cam on the first page? Do you spec the cams almost the sameway you would normally would? Curious to know how different it could be.

Great. Thanks. Did INTMD8 (Jim) ever get in touch with you regarding a build? I gave him Brians contact info in late September of 2011 but didn't hear anything after that. He had contacted Katech about a V16 build but was a bit dismayed by the price they wanted.

It's entirely possible, I might have dropped the ball. I've been beyond swamped lately so I don't exactly recall. I'd definitely be willing to speak to him now.
Guys, here is a pic of one in the Suburban:
