i see what you're trying to do...i
have the service manuals and i've
never come across any blue prints.

i know adam at ST Motorsports has
made adapters for the manifold and
maybe he could provide you with the
intake manifold layout.

Rather than taking one apart or getting a spare engine, I'd get a set of CMCV delete plates and go off that...

Put the word out in your local area. Someone will have installed a Whipple or Saleen and they'll have their old plastic intake sitting around. You can take exact measurements off that including the dimensions of the o-ring seal seats etc.

The intake takes about 5 minutes to get off, honestly if you have the prowess to make a custom manifold adapter than you should be able to get those numbers in about half an hour.
