With a home built you will have vacuum hoses, intake to head gaskets and crankcase hoses. All you would be saving are the intake boots that never fail unless removed. ( a pair 3" ish diameter x 5" hoses )

With the home built you apparently want to make, you would be losing the dual resonance function of the intake, long runners for low speed , short for high. Are you going to build the intake long for low end power or short for high? Building for one RPM range takes away from the other.
