Sure but why? Just cut the runners in the middle and add about a 4-5" section of pipe to it an it is through the hood. Just a quick thought

The reason the TPI strangles the motor at high rpms in stock form is because of the long runners. If you made them longer you might peak at 3000 rpm lol.

Very true. He just asked if it could be done. I Think it would look good on like a street rod. Just a thought.

P.S What kind of torque do you think that intake would make.
