intake manifold

The rules say you can't touch it, no mods, but final say so is left to the discretion of the tech director.

As most of you are aware of, its easier to win the lottery jackpot than it is finding an unmolested 45 year old manifold, specifically in my case (D1ZX-9425-DA) and, the ones that do have them....well you can cast it out of solid gold and it would be cheaper than what they want to part with it for.

With that being said, It seems like everybody is an expert at modifying and had to get in there an "notch" or cut away the center divider.

What gives here? minor notching? cut it ? drill holes in it? or leave it as is? I know what the rule says, but what does the tech man say?

How much luck would I have getting an "approved" aftermarket intake to fly as long as it is the same configuration
