I'm thinking of building another small block (meaning paying someone to) and am very interested in using a spread bore carb and intake. Mild performing 360 street engine. I REALLY miss that sound of a Qjet or TQ. I realize tuning one isn't the easiest, and parts sourcing can be difficult but if there's not a big dropoff in performance due to the intake and carb itself versus something like an edelbrock performer air airgap with Holley 3310 than I'd love to have that sound again.

Problem is I don't know if there are good intakes available, especially aluminum to accommodate a spread bore carb and if I'm sacrificing lots of power.

Also not a fan of any carb adapters but what do I know? Not much.
