These 4 pics show a simple structure. It looks like bell mouths and tapered runners could help improve things.
One neat tip from the above is that a stock manifold can be chopped and a new set of runners and exhaust formed. The stock manifold's connecting flange can be recycled to save considerable machining.

Weird and wonderful ideas

Here is a concept for an easy way to improve air flow in a normally aspirated 6 using stock throttle bodies and some fabrication.
Two 55mm throttle bodies each feeding only three runners.
The inputs can be Y'd to a single input and then fed from a larger AFM or ideally, run from a non AFM/MAF reliant EFI system
