Question Single Plane for LT4 Heads

Well ive searched but couldn’t find an answer. Im lookin for a single plane manifold for lt4 heads thats already been drilled to accept traditional SBC intake manifolds.
I found this Super Vic manifold (part # 2971) (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-2971/), the Edelbrock website says ‘Super Victor #2971 is for raised port heads. They have a large runner cross-sectional area (3.2 square inches) and highly efficient cloverleaf plenum design.’
Since the LT4 heads has raised intake ports; do u guys think the ports on this intake manifold will line-up with the LT4 heads intake ports?

I'm not running a super vic yet... piecing the swap together for later this year. From the pictures I've seen, a 3" cowl should work fine depending on what sort of elbow/carb hat and intake setup you run. Just get the EFI super vic and the fuel rails they sell for it...

skip the vic jr and go straight for the super vic. it's hard to get a big enough CSA out of a vic jr without alot of work. your intake porter will thank you

The professional products super hurricane manifold has bigger ports than the victor efi. That super vic you posted isn't drilled for injector bungs.

might wanna check the picture again, its definitely drilled for injectors

most of the work on the single planes is in the plenum and dividers. yes out of the box the hurricane is bigger, but a supervic is king of all ported cast single planes unles you're doing a two piece brodix

I got lucky and found a guy on ltxtech(casper) who was selling a victor efi that was ported for lt4 heads. I am also doing a carb build and had the injector holes pluged and ground down alil. the machine shop made it so i can run a fogger kit in the injector holes if i wanted
