Default High Port crossover/ timing cover misalignment

Has anyone ever just made a water crossover that actually aligns with the hole in the timing cover. Just cut out the section and raised it up to match.
I do not see why it can not be done. Aluminum welding is not my thing but I could get my Lincoln 180 amp 220V welder ready to do the fabrication.
Cut up 2 aluminum crossovers and fab it together so it aligns up.
But it usually does not work well without a spool gun at least and no Tig at home. It would be ugly.
I could make one out of steel but it would not look good either.
KRE should just cast some up, I bet they would sell.
I keep hearing about the front cylinders running hot if I just plug the holes like most do. Pump gas engine, it would be a problem.
How much is the offset ? Looks like around 3/4" from the picks I have seen.
