it would take a ton of porting and will not offer any increase in horsepower

Save up for a better intake...if you are going with a new bottom end, do it the justice it deserves with a good intake.

If $$ is an issue, I heard of a lot of guys on here going with an Explorer intake. I imagine that it is pretty cheap from a junkyard...check out some other forums for "Explorer Intake"
