I’d say the basic combo would pick up power with the 337. How much of a gain there would be……..only one way to know for sure.
And…….the port mismatch is probably not going to help matters. But, it may not be the kiss of death either. Again, you’d have to try it to know.
I’ve tested BBC rectangle port manifolds on oval port heads(which is a huge mismatch) that picked up power over their oval port counterparts.
If the manifold is priced friendly enough, just try it. If it doesn’t do what you want……. Flip it.

The price seems decent. I'll get it. This is the one we're talking about I hope.

I haven’t had one in my shop in several years, but that looks right.
The stage 6 intakes are the same design, but are for raised port heads and are taller.

I don't think people realized the 337 was any good until about the same time MP decided to quit making them. I don't know what they sold for new "way back when", but popular used BB Mopar intakes seem to be bringing good money these days. That was back when Zippy was still working at MP. They killed the 337 and then he talked them into bringing it back. I did some dyno tests with it for a magazine article and made really good power. They sold a few more after that and then killed it again. They really just didn't want to sell parts like that anymore no matter how good they were. I think Mopar Performance did a lousy job of marketing the 337 intake. I looked at it for years wondering if it would fit a 440 with MW heads. I wasn't willing to buy one to find out if that was the case. Andy finally bought one and published the results. I snagged one before they disappeared completely. Thanks to Andy for buying one and letting everyone know what it was.

I was swapping parts with a guy in Pa and he had 3 of them on a shelf along with about a dozen other BB mopar intakes.

Like has been suggested...take a hand file, use some tape, and a vacuum 'trunk monkey' and artfully remove any down-stream interference and it'll pick the combo up for certain. Make you efforts/expense worthwhile. If it makes you feel any better you should know at Roush we'd occasionally tickle NASCAR intake manifolds ON THE DYNO to help fuel distribution. And he'd use no vacuum but blast it with shop air for clean-up. If you knew the man, you'd know he'd sell his soul for a good running engine, at that time anyway.

That's encouraging, at least as a starting point. I bought a cheap(?) Harbor Freight bore scope for checking port alignment between intake and heads when installing 'em cuz you can't really see the full interface without sticking a scope way down the intake runner.
