Default developing an LT1 intake

I know some people with cnc machines that charge $25 an hour to mill stuff. Do think it'd be retarded for me to try to develop a one off LT1 intake. I know some of you guys are awesome with 3d programs and photoshop, so I'd like to hear your idea on what might work best. I was thinking an LS1 style with and air gap thats fits lt1 ports? I'll have the runners bolt to the plenum like the accel intake so i can make it in smaller peices. Any ideas or especially images are welcome!
