M1 Sb intake. Best for small blocks?

Not to sidetrack too much here, but in the MP engine book many have read on doing those mods to that intake as well as the M1 and others of epoxying popsicle sticks on the floor of various runners but to this day I don’t think I’ve ever seen actual detailed photos of it actually done. Just the MP engine books outline drawings. I know the why for use of the wood, but it sure would be nice to see how some have done that. I’m sure it’s pretty crude with the wood and epoxy regardless but I have been thinking of making something similar (for the M1) out of thin aluminum and pinning and staking it in place which would be viable, clean and so there’s no way for ingestion. Still would like to see pictures of some of these popsicle stick intake mods, hood reference for all

I also had w2 heads and intake from my friend.
The intake was a strip dominator it had the epoxy and popsicle stick deal done to it.
