I compared the floor with the one on my RA-IV/HO reproduction, and this one is definitely lower than that.
keep in mind the RA/HO repro intakes plenum floor is not as deep as GM intakes, rocky rotella measured them & showed about 1/8-3/16 less depth, i compared my 1970 iron intake to a 71 HO GM intake & the HO is not as deep, both were fully ported by SD.
