Is there an aluminum 283 intake with front oil tube?

Hi all -
My '72 C/10 LWB Highlander has a '67 283/TH350 in it. It runs great even if it's a little bit of a slug in the truck. Stock as far as I know except for HEI and headers w/ Flowmasters, with a QJet. It does have Edelbrock chrome valve covers with the oil fill cap, and the cast iron intake manifold does not have the front oil fill tube.

I was at Corvettes at Carlisle this past weekend and bought a set of aluminum Corvette script valve covers, which were on my wishlist from the day I bought the truck. They do not have the oil hole provision, so I anticipated getting another intake that has the tube. Am I going to be stuck with another cast iron stock intake from an earlier year, or are there any vintage or current aluminum intakes that would allow for the oil tube?

Thanks -
Terry
