Superram bolted up to a Scoggin-Dickey Vortec Intake

Has anyone tried bolting up the Accel Superram upper intake to Scoggin-Dickey's lower Vortec Intake with Vortec heads. Any clearance problems? The Superram is rather large upper intake.

Feedback? Do you think it will fit?

I think this has been discussed before.. If I remember correctly, the drivers rear pair of intake bolts interfere with the superram...

Yes, it has been discussed ad nauseum. Do a search. There are a variety of challenges.

Challenges which can all be overcome... If you really want to run superram+vortecs, you can do it.

You will have to re-drill the intake bolt holes in the Vortec heads to match the SBC pattern of the Superram base.

That is correct, I want to use the Vortec base and the Superram upper intake and runners. Has anyone tried this? The Superram upper intake is so large I thought I might have clearance or alignment problems bolting it up.

Final pic, well second to final but most work was finished i this pic, most current I have.

What are your motor plans, I will comment, and you at that time should consider doing this combo, it is not a easy walk to get things harmonized.
