I have been running the Offy p/n:5416 4 barrel intake on 2 successive 292s in my '68 C/10 since 1978. Both with a Holley 4160 8007 390 CFM and an Edelbrock [AFB] 1404 500 CFM. Runs great. I ran both carbs "sideways" with the primaries facing the drivers fender -- makes for better, more even fuel/air distribution, IMO. Why should "normal" for a V8 be considered a prefferable configuration on an L6?
I don't use carb-heat since I live in the desert and it's hot, mostly. I have Clifford headers, also since 1978, and like their products, but I never ran a Clifford intake, so I can't comment from experience.
