IT seems  that adding an integral manifold would be not much more work, but 
adding a  bolt on manifold to use stock carbs or a stock turbo setup would 
be a lot more  work, plus add a failure point absent in the stock design. 


The stock design was the '60's answer to making an engine cheaper, not  
better; sure, they eliminated  gaskets and studs and nuts, but previous to  
this design, all Chevys had separate heads and manifolds; I had never heard 
that  leakage was a grave problem; it never was on any car I had ever 
had----but then,  I was always going to an aftermarket intake for more carburetion.  
Have you  ever seen a Carter 4-bbl carb. on a 300 cid Ford six with forged 
crank?  It  went mucho fast in my '51 Kaiser coupe.
