After looking around at some of the ideas on here I want some other opinions.
I want an Aluminum head for my 200 but thats not even possible anytime soon. I had a Aussie head and a 4bbl intake but had to sell them when I got laid off from work.
So now Im forced to work with what I have.
1) I have a D8 head and a E0 head. I am thinking of seeing about having the top of the log milled flat and using a single long flat piece of aluminum stock and attach it to the top of the head to mimic the Offy intake, or maybe attach 3 seperate pads for the carbs. I planned to attach them by drilling and tapping a hole in the top of the log to attach a countersunk screw. I was planning to mount the carb directly between a pair of runners.
Then I want to mount the carb studs in the aluminum stock. I will seal the log to the aluminum plate using high temp RTV. I was planning on using 3 of the stock 80-81 Holley 1bbl carbs.
2) If I go with the 3 x 1bbl setup I was thinking airflow will be good enough that it might be beneficial to port the log and try to somehow get in to port the intake port runners.
3) Other option is to follow Mustang Geezers lead and mill the carb pad area flat, cleance griond and mount a 500cfm carb. If I stay with a 200 this is a good route. But if I can get the oilpan made for a 250 in a Fox body and go that route will the log and 500cfm carb flow enough? I have my doubts.
