I like stock looking stuff. The buyer had a choice of an old style mopar M1 dual plane intake or this airgap. If it were me I would have used the M1(it is basically a slightly enhanced stock 340 4bbl intake cast in aluminum) and a mopar ignition along with some stock valve covers (stock LA valve covers can be used on magnum heads with very little work. The five bolt holes line up perfectly) Paint the whole thing red and you have a stock looking 318.




You can fit an HEI in an A body, but like you say, it's a tight mother. I have a Mallory Comp 9000 I'm going to install and that's a tight mother.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
