[QUOTE="Bobby, post: 402538, member: 5874"] The Edelbrock Performer or the RPM Air Gap will have smaller ports that will not match your criteria. You would have to find a BOSS 351 Buddy Bar Aluminum intake or the original Ford Cast Iron intake. Problem with these is that: 1. The Buddy Bar intakes are available from time to time on eBay but you're looking at prices at $1K or better....mostly way North of 1K. 2. You can acquire an original Ford cast iron intake and the ports will match up nicely since they were designed for each other. 3. Most of these (BOSS 351 Buddy Bar and Cast Iron Ford) would require using an Autolite spread Bore carb as any other carb would not be compatible. There are a few BOSS 351 intakes that do not have the spread bore requirement. The spread bore had two large and two small round ports to fit the Autolite 4300D carb. A VERY few Buddy Bars had two rectangular ports that would allow just about any aftermarket carb to fit. I originally was doing the same to my 72. Bought the CJ heads and had them rebuilt and also bought the Ford cast iron intake and finally a re-engineered and rebuilt Autolite 4300D carb. Of course I went in a different direction mid course of my build and opted for TrickFlow heads for my 393 Stroker. I bought a Performer intake and a 1411 Edelbrock carb. So if you are interested, I have the cast Ford intake and 4300D carb if you are interested in buying it. [/QUOTE]
