Well today i got motivated and began the swap. I found a performance edelbrock aluminum intake on craigslist five minutes from my house for 50 bucks. Pulled the two barrel manifold and carb, cleaned up the gasket surfaces, installed new gaskets and the manifold. I am going to put the carb on tomorrow. If the Rochester Quadrajet does not work, i will find one from a 400. There seems to be a lot of quadrajets on craigslist. Any thoughts/opinions on the performance manifold? I have been a diesel man all my life so i am new to these gas motors. So far i love them tho
