I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have some hemi 5.7/6.1 intake manifold adapter/spacers I can borrow for a couple days? I just need to move my car across town and currently don't have any spacers...

Ok guys. Got the spacer situation settled. It's a story..
So it starts like this... in January I though I would get a head start on the car, so I put it on jackstands, start to do an oil change.. and I notice a lot of foamy oil around the filler, catch can lines, and in the catch can. The catch can was also full of water.. apparently this happens in places that get winter according to the catch can experts of the internet.
But since it was full to the brim with water, I was worried some got into the crank case. The oil looked fine, no water, no foam, and still smelled oily and not gassy.
So I pulled the intake manifold off to inspect the heads for more foamy sludge, and they looked great. Then I noticed the manifold spacers that are used to get a eagle 5.7 or 6.1 intake to clear the coolant temp sender on and early 5.7 block.. they were the wrong ones and the o-ring gasket was actually inside the rim of the head intake ports. It wasn't sealing at all. All this time it's had a small boost leak.
So I discuss this with some guys on LXForum, and there are 3 kinds of these spacer/adapter. the adapters I had were for eagle intake mating to early heads. But I have eagle heads and eagle intake.
So the car sits there.. and I'm now working 70hr weeks. A month goes by and a guy on the forums asks if I want to sell the incorrect adapters, so I sell them to him and buy the right ones with that money. HHP gets Modern Muscle to send me a set.. and they send he wrong ones. Shipped me the same thing I just took ofd and sold.
In the midst of all this, I ended up terminating my tenants lease early (that's another story) and decide to move back into my house. So I have a car on jack stands at my apartment and a move going on, and a lease expiration closing in haha.
Well at the last minute, Modern Muscle overnights me the right part, which I installed tonight and got the car relocated safely to it's new home.
The End.
PS.. HHP and Modern Muscle may have made a mistake, but they worked it out quickly and I thank them for that. Also thanks to you guys for wanting to help, I figured it would be a long shot.
