Default Is it possible to change stock nnbs intake flanges to ls7?

Just curious to know if this can be done. Take a nnbs intake, cathedral or l92 style whichever is better, and change out to a ls7 head flange? I see a lot of custom intakes that have been taken apart ported and put back together so not sure if this would be a do able task or not. Maybe a custom shop or nitrous company who does hidden system will chime in?

The 8 ports that sit on the head, change those to a ls7 style port. You know how the nnbs intakes can only fit on ls1-2 heads (cathedral version) or ls3 heads (square version) I want to know if they can be modified to fit ls7 heads by using the ports from a ls7 intake. Kinda like how Virgina Speed modified a ls3 high ram intake to fit on a cathedral headed engine. I know that intake is metal and the nnbs intakes are plastic but with the shops that do all the porting to the plastic intakes and take them apart was thinking maybe they can change the ports as well. I dont want to change the runners or anything just the port flanges...

I want to go from this (L92 intake port on truck intake)



To this (ls7 port)

I thought the centers were wider on the ls7...sounds like a helluva lot of trouble...can you not find any ls7 intakes you like or what?

Well I have the ls7 version of the holley high ram intake on order but damn they keep putting it on back order. Right now I'm looking at oct 2 now for it to ship out from Jegs and everywhere else too. I don't like the car style intakes but for now looks like I might have to use one. Thing that sucks about that is once I get the intake I want I'm gonna be stuck trying to sell a ls7 car intake.

Oh ok, I wasn't quite sure what the reasoning was but now I follow you.
