LT4 intake - LT1 heads

Bought a LT4 intake & planning on using it on my lt1 heads. A machine shop will be able to port match this intake to these heads right? I've heard of this, but am starting to wonder how difficult it will be. Any suggestions?

Cool

Won't fit. Requires machining to make the LT-4 intake fit the lt-1 heads, then you've taken away the very small advantage the combo offers. They are the same exact thing performance wise. It's simpler to just buy a can of Chevy orange paint

Alternately working heads or a calculator.

The LT1 intake needs very little work. My understanding is the LT4 needs quite a bit more work to extract its full potential.

This is not a recommended combo.
