Quote: Anything '72 and prior are the best b/c they are non egr Also the newer 318-360 4bbl manifolds have smaller runners that more closely match a 318 head than a 360 head. Since you are restricted to a small carb I would try to find a manifold with the biggest plenum and make it bigger if I could, this will leave you with a spread bore manifold from 71 or 72, biggest plenum and runners and no EGR. Also if you do end up with a 1 inch spacer than probably going with an open type would make more power but only testing will prove me right or wrong. I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

I just plugged the EGR holes inside the manifold, and added a 4150 carb adaptor for a Holley 600. I think the intake cost me $10, the carb adaptor was $15.
