The manifold shown earlier that I ported had exactly this.....a piece of .063" thick aluminum sheet bent into shape and welded into the plenum.
However, the big issue is there are many types of intakes. I've counted at least 7 variations, and all of them have different plenum shapes. Add to that the discrepancies that may occur between each person porting the intake, and you'll find that no two pieces of sheetmetal will be alike.
When I ported that 'final' intake (the one pictured above) for the Carlisle giveaway a few years ago, I also ported one intake for our own opelgt.com site owner Gary. I did them 'assembly-line' style for consistancy, and made them from the same year/type manifold, but the plenum tents still had to be hand-fitted individually.
