the only significant complication with this is going to be dependant on how the intake port runs in your head..... if the port is already split in two at the head, that simplifies things quite a bit, if not, then you would need to split them yourself via welding in a small divider, which is tricky.... to say the least.
Funny you bring this up.

I'm trying to get my one of these.
