If the want to write a rule that stops the heads from being modified to "cheat" the runner volume than go ahead.. but leave the intake out of the rule..
I don't know either of you or really have a dog in this discussion as I only run stock.. BUT this rule does seem a bit stupid if it in fact does mean you can only buy an out of the box aftermarket intake and port it or spend $$$ and go sheetmetal but anything in between is now deemed illegal..
To answer you question though.. just as Erik said.. no running incorrect intakes shouldn't carry over to stock. they SHOULD be factory no matter what and have the correct casting# just as the rule book states.. SS is a different animal.

I know what he's saying. I never questioned an intake being legal! My point was that since spacers and adapters are now illegal, which are needed to adapt Chevy intakes to Mopar,, as an example, use the intake that was made for that combo if you choose to go that route. If a guy like Jones buys Edelbrock intakes and machines them to fit without an adapter plate, then great. If it fits the new rule, great! I was not singling out anybody or any specific make, brand, etc. I was focused on the topic of the rule change, not what has been done for 50 years. I have used a sheet metal intake that was custom built for my heads. I knew they were legal in Super Stock.
And Brad, I surely hope you meant Intake and not Chevy heads for your Ford motor.
