Porting LT1 intake

Porting LT1 intake
Right now I have a converted LT1 intake.
It has a 48mm throttle body on it.
Do you think I could port the opening of the intake like the miniram for a 58mm throttle body?
By this I mean cut it into 1 big oval hole rather than 2 holes.
I want to do it now while the intake is off the motor rather than wait until I have more $ down the road to get a 58mm tb and get shavings in the intake.

LOL - I understand that one, been there and done it myself far too many times. Almost have a permanent bruise on my forehead....
Not a whole lot else you can port on those from what I've seen. Not much "meat" around the ports to allow much porting without welding on material. Watch your corners around the water passages, several folks weld on material there to stop small coolant leaks from what I've seen and heard.
