I actually think I saw a dyno test (Carb vs. EFI) where they had problems using throttle body fuel injection on a dual plane. They switched to a carburetor, and the problem went away. I think I'm remembering this correctly. Brain cells are worn out.
So, what if the injectors aren't spraying evenly? A common plenum would even it out.
I know - the correct fix is to fix the injectors. All I'm saying is maybe this engine builder had a plugged injector or something, and then he switched to a single plane and the problem went away.

I have a Weiand single plane 4V manifold with injector pockets added
and it fits under the stock engine cover:

I have an MSD throttle body and it may not be as tall as a throttle
body including injectors, I can measure it tonight if that helps.
Probably not an optimal combination, but I wanted it to fit.
Here is a new 351C 4V Blue Thunder intake on ebay:

I just got an email from builder stating the Ford AL dual plane intake
is not suited for throttle body
Is this true?
If so, wouldn't that rule out Blue Thunder (if I could find one)?
Any experience with single plane that would fit under stock engine
