Default Victor intake odd question

So I’m going to buy a Super Victor intake for the setup I’m building, and it will be carbbed initially. I only saved $18k for my whole project so the turbo and EFI will come after I save up some more. I’m curious if there is a way to run a mpfi Victor intake with a carb and somehow plug the injector ports for the time being, that way when I do go EFI I don’t have to buy another intake. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

You can get plugs, kinda like freeze plugs, to plug the injector ports.

Well when I didn’t get any responses right away I just started thinking. I also bought the MPFI Super Vic. I have a lathe and a bunch of round brass and aluminum stock. I’m most likely just going to machine 8 little dowels that’ll have a few thousandths press fit and stick em in the injector ports.

My idea is once theyre machined ill put the intake intake in the oven at about 300* to warm it up and put the dowels in the freezer. Once everything is at the respective correct temp I should be able to pull the intake out of the oven and push the dowels in by hand almost.

Down the road when I’m ready for a multi port setup I’ll pull the intake and tap the dowels out with a punch through the pintle hole.

Now I’ve just got to decide if I want to use aluminum or brass. I’ll probably go aluminum just so I don’t have to worry about dissimilar metal corrosion.
