Mopar Performance Casting #8015 W2/W5 Aluminum dual plane intake manifold. Listed as being used on W2/W5 heads, these have rectangular intake ports. Are they still available from Mopar?
The W-2 has a oval port, the W-5 has a rectangular
port... cant see how it would work with both(unless
porting to match the head. What you show there looks
like PN P4529116, 4 bbl alum, dual plane for std head

Right, but I'm pretty sure it will fit these heads as well (rectangular intake ports but called "W2" heads by Mopar).
Yeah those were made by Diamond.... sorry cant help on
the intake but a W-5 might be real close

Yea, plus the Diamonds have been ported since that pic so I'm sure at least some moderate port matching will be required. Is the part# you listed still available?

That looks like a standard port Weiand intake with the bolt holes drilled to fit the W2 pattern. I had a single plane intake MP claimed was for a W5 head and it had standard ports in it but the W5 bolt pattern. Piece of junk IMO. I got it from the Archer Brothers when Dodge pulled out of Trans Am racing. I think they had it on their show car to promote the MP parts, but their race engines had Arrington heads and different intakes.
Sounds typical of Mopar to do, sort of like having Edlebrock cast some heads up with cast "MOPAR" on the ends and changing basically nothing but the plug angles.
I am looking for a good dual plane intake that will work on these heads as well as a good single plane to do some dyno testing of two different combos. The dual plane will likely choke the engine (it's big CID and the heads flow in the upper 330's) but I want to try it anyway.
