The weight argument it stupid, compare a Warhawk LS motor to a all aluminum BBC, the weight difference is worth it to me with the kazillion more cubes.
trust me its better to drill the heads to fit the intake
Ask some local speed shops and see who they say does good work
Not necesarily. You have done this both ways yourself? Why is it better?
I would not suggest going someplace to have this done if they had not done some LT1 single plane conversions successfully. Done correctly it isn't cheap, especially when you have the intake matched to the particular heads you are using and have the plenum "touched up". Why bother at all if you are not going to get the most performance out of the conversion.

from what he said I thought he just wanted the mounting holes to match up on the heads and intake
I guess I misunderstood I thought he was going a carb setup
for the actual conversion I agree get someone that has done a few already
Mine has the intake dilled and a couple of the holes overlap eachother and it looks like crap.I know people that have had the heads drilled and it looks way better and I am sure it will have less chance of leaking
