Hey folks, I need to unload a few parts.
When I acquired the BBC, I got a new looking ALUMINUM INTAKE. Code is 3919849, which should be for a 1968 427 / 390. Book says it is for the SQUARE port, LO-RISE, QuadraJet set up.
There is no sheet metal cover on the underside (whateveryoucallthatthang).
I don't have a 427, so my loss is your gain. Anyone need one? PM me if you do and we'll talk.

[QUOTE=daveb12]I'm confused. The 390 horse has oval ports. BTW, the square port intake will fit on an oval port head, oval port intakes will not work with square port heads.[/QUOTE]
it will work but not optimally!!!
the intake flow is alot more turbulent..
I read an article about this killing your volumetric efficiency some time ago.

Allow me to post a CORRECTION to my original post (now that I'm not on anything!!!)
The ports are OVAL (not square) like David said. Fits the L-36 motor. Hope that clears up any confusion. Didn't for me.
