That raises some questions, is this good set up (square bore)? If I get another type of intake (one that may be more available or better) are there adaptors to use with my carb? I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot here. If I buy something, I want it to keep with my overall plans. I want lower end power w/ some fuel (chough) economy. And ultimately want to build a 383 stroker. From what I understand the intake I have will not get me this, is this true or am I misdirected?
