ok, so, this post is going to make me sound like a complete rookie here, but i've never dealt with an OEM iron 4 bbl from this era. the intake (i'm going to guess is a spread bore) it has 2 inlets, but they're not open ovals like you see on a modern square bore. they're figure 8 shaped. making me think it's a spread bore intended for a TQ... am i right?

i may be looking at a different 4 bbl intake, may even go Ederbrock or something...still gathering you guys' information.

arent the TQs 800 CFM?

i'm gladly taking all of you guys' information to construct the big picture adn make my decision
