You can buy a new HEI from Skip White for less than it will cost you to tune up that old HEI.

Just my .02
x2 on the above.

That intake new is only a little over a 100$. the problem with used intakes is you never know what your getting into till you try to tighten a bolt down. Chances are he left the carb on it because one of the carb bolts is stripped and rigged to stay in place. thats what i normally find on older aluminum intakes.
