Default Spreadbore LS manifold?

Hi, I am wondering if anybody out there has seen or heard of a spreadbore carb intake manifold for LS engines. I think an LS motor with a Q-jet on it would be kinda cool.

It's definitely a step bacwards, but it would make an LS swap alot easier. You could put the FI back on when you felt up to the task.
