It had a slightly raised intake runner. I would just port a stocker.

The factory LT4 intake only works on LT4 heads, and the factory LT1 intake only works on LT1 heads.

The ports in the HEADS are TALLER not raised and the ports in the LT4 manifold are the same as the small trapezoidal LT1 ports they just have more material above them to seal to the taller head ports.

The extra material above the ports will interfere with the LT1 valve cover rail.

So there is no point and it wouldn't fit.

Beyond that your 93 intake already has larger ports and the lack of a fuel rail crossover trough is a slight improvement as well.

Just sell it.
