Why not invest a little bit of money into a ported stock intake and use that?

Exactly this.
A ported later EGR iron intake is as good as anything up to about 500 horsepower. Just because your heads are aluminum doesn’t mean to have to go to great lengths to put a specially fabricated aluminum intake on that really buys you nothing power-wise and saves a paltry 20 pounds which on a 3700 pound car amounts to nothing.
The ‘73-‘74 EGR intakes with the massive passages underneath are the heavy ones. The ‘75 and up ones are much lighter and even with their D-shaped secondary openings perform on par with even the pre-EGR intakes.
