Are their any good aftermarket intake manifolds that have the oil fill tube port? I would like to buy an Edelbrock but most the models don't. The performer RPM has a blank area that could be bored out. I don't know, I suppose you would have to take it to a machine shop somewhere, maybe it wouldn't be that big of a deal?

The edelbrock is easily modified.. Any machine shop should be able to do it for a small amount.. My good friend Jeff B just happens to have a Bridgeport in his garage so it was a easy bit for me... Thanks again Jeff...

Edelbrock makes and ships one with the oil fill tube.

Never seen that one, that's why I like to post here. My holley is a spread bore but I know they have conversion brackets. That would be painless as long as it didn't create a hood clearance issue since that intake is already fairly tall.
