Why not build the engine you want to build. Then put a hood on it that will fit?
Anything else is a compromise.

When I installed a high rise hood on my 77. Absolutely no one contributed to the cause. However, even though I am anything but wealthy. I found a way. And I have had no issues with high rise manifolds and high air filters ever since.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

I believe the stock aluminum LS6 intake is all you got for a real choice. I see the prices all over the place on ebay, $500 to $1500....make sure the numbers are correct for a corvette intake

Simple answer.
There is not an aftermarket oval intake port that fits that hood with a BB.
Only the two GM ones, the 569 Holley R-port repop, or the 68-69 GM C3 Qjet dual plane.

Point of reference - purchased a 69 GM aluminum Qjet manifold in good condition for my LS5, a few months ago, for a couple hundred dollars.

He can put a square port on oval port heads...which is his only option without going to an L88 hood
