ANYTHING can be done... with enough time, effort, knowledge and money. So, the truth is you can place a LS intake manifold gasket over the intake openings on the mounting surface of the B16A manifold. Carefully draw all of the circle openings for the intake studs/bolts and drill all of the holes. Next, you will have to plug the water inlet on the distributor end of the intake manifold. The best way is to weld the hole closed. Some use two part epoxy to seal it... the really cheap ghetto-fabulous way is to install a short hose on it and put a slightly oversized bolt in the open end of the hose with a hose clamp. You will need to drill a new hole for the water inlet below the original one. Buy a 1/2" NPT to 5/8" hose barb (male to male), thread the new drilled hole to 1/2" NPT, place some teflon tape on the threads of the new hose barb and screw it into the intake. Test fit the manifold and make sure it fits FLUSH against the cylinder head. Mark any places that do not fit flush and then file/grind these areas down until there are no trouble areas. Once all mods are complete, it can be bolted to the LS cylinder head.
Good luck.
Do you like this answer better MUGEN GUY ???

Mugen Guy, you should put down the hand tools because it's obvious you have no clue what you're talking about.
