Great plan, Myth. Can you make the inlet pipe height adjustable? A top plate of resilient (not brittle) plastic, threaded slightly undersize, will do. A taper pipe thread tap will get you there and allow some play. Then adjust while running water through it to find the narrowest gap acceptible for whatever pump/system you're running the block with. This type of inlet may be removed (for cleaning inside block) many times without weakening the seal.
