Well, 5/16" isn't that thin really, plenty thick for the torque associated with an intake manifold. You can maximize thread engagement by using National Fine threads instead of National Coarse. But it does make sizing the length of the manifold bolts rather critical. If it were me, I would probably choose to use 1/2 thick plate for the adapters, and mill the intake a bit. There is also the need for a bit of port matching, but that is rather minimal. Overall, to run a long runner 351W efi intake on Rons 9.2 Windsor block with C302 heads looks to me to be a rather straight forward thing to do. Having dual SVO & Windsor bolt holes/bosses in the adapter plate is the approach that makes this possible.
