Also the ignition module is cooled by the plenum, so you'd need to find some other way to cool it.

Well, I was thinking more of a plastic replica of the existing Al plenum. That way nothing would have to be relocated. And, the plenum could come molded in any color with the 36mm bores in it, or the Siamese partition removed all together. Then one would only have to port the IH for a top end P&P project.
I know someone that does prototype fabrications using a computer and a special 3-D program and a machine that actually lays down the prototype in thin layers of plastic - takes a couple hours or so to go from graphic to physical "part". The dies are the expensive part - once it has been determined that the prototype has been vetted.
Just mulling over what could be done: "what if", as it were.
