Hello Gents
I know this is an Old tread, but I believe Its a good place to ask, I'd like to know If is possible to use a regular SBC intake bolted with angled plates with these Heads, like a Victor Ram.

Intake flange should be standard angle. The good 18 degree heads have raised ports.

I believe by the flow numbers and Dyno results posted here, the Heads in question are the Trickflow ultra 18s, raised runners. Am I missing something?

No, I missed the first page, thought it was a fresh post, used to look after a raised runner 18 degree motor, I'd assumed the intake flange was correct to block because the pushrods were still too dam close to the rocker cover rail.
