gently bang the outer runners with a rubber mallet? (and put something tight inside the runner so it does not actually deform)

I was thinking that a pipe clamp could be used to gently draw the two outer runners in.

Excellent ideas worth considering, guys!

On the flaring idea. maybe just right at the end so that it would be covered up by the weld and wouldn't even show. Pulling the outer runners together might also work if I used two parallel pipes the exact diameter as the inside edge of the runners. 5mm on each isn't much. I might try putting just a little pressure on them to see exactly how much resistance there is. And maybe a combination of both... of just a bit of pulling and a touch of flaring.

It's really great that the slight misalignment issue the only thing close to an obstacle. The engine flange and adaptor plate for the throttle body are pretty academic. A thick throttle body plate will have 3 counter sunk recesses to accept short hex bolts which will attach it to the manifold, and then have 4 threaded holes for the stock throttle body studs. I should be getting the stock manifold soon which will be used for the pattern to keep everything oriented as close to their stock positions as possible.
