I know what you're talking about, cause I have the same intake manifold that you have and it wasn't easy for me to find a intake that will fit on it. First of all you have to make sure that the end of the intake pipe (the one that's gonna attach to the intake manifold) has a curve shape, more like a Hook. Go to this link right here to see what I'm talking about http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...=336821&page=6 if you're intake don't have a end like this well you gonna have to send it back and change it. Unless you wanna buy another intake manifold and a throttle body just to hook up your cold air intake.

not to be rude but why are you even bothering to modify that motor? save your money and buy a twin-cam.
