Email ken, he has made the vortec base and might have them in stock.

There is a guy on eBay porting the stock base for $200 not worth it IMO the base is a restriction but so are the runners. You should look into high flow. Slp, accel, edelbrock or better yet tpis Arizona speed and marine.

You might want to look for a vortec base hsr.
You might be able to get the natural version not sure the pn I think it’s a 7542.
