The Ford Barn

So I was watching Mad Fabricators the other day. Bob was working with the new big 97s which have the carb barrels kind of notched in between the barrels. He opened up the intake in between the two barrel openings to match the carbs. He said in turn it would allow the cylinders that needed the fuel more to be able to get it as opposed to being restricted. That almost turns it into a single plenum opening. Anybody ever try this on a factory 8ba manifold? Seems like it should work but I'm not super familiar with how the 8ba works. I may pick up a spare manifold and get down to business
