There are some pics of cars with FMIC without rotating the intake and still using the stock hoods. I think rotating is supposed to make the air travel shorter and less piping. Now I'm not sure if it helps perfomance but it makes your engine bay nicer looking

Anybody that can weld aluminum can do it for you. Bob, http://www.40bob.com/ can do a real nice, no mistakes on angles job for you. There are some other negatives to rotating the upper intake though that I am aware of as I have one. Reaching the distributor is a real hassle. Reaching the Master cylinder is a real hassle just for checking fluid, reaching oil filter from the top is impossible, wires are no longer hidden as well as they were in the stock position. So some things that were simple and routine are now a bit of a pain.
