Edelbrock LD4B vs Weiand Stealth

Not sure how to add links to here. However the stealth seems the closest to the old LD4B. If the differences were that minor between the 2 intakes, I'd rather just do a click n pay for a new one and start fresh, as opposed to having to refurbish an old one to be able to use it. I plan on coating the water passages of either intake I decide on with a fluid resistant epoxy, and using stainless steel or marine grade brass for water fittings. I am a step ahead with buying new in this area rather than having to sandblast out corrosion and do repair. Of course if the LD4B is worth all that, then sure I would take the time to sandblast it, and repair and coat it.

Mild 318 with a cam, 340 exhaust manifolds, and hopped up electronic ignition w HEI module. Planning on an edelbrock 600 carb.

Since both the intake are so similar, it’s really a price vs originality decision. I was in the same boat 3 years ago and found a LD4B for $140 shipped. It had been installed new on a boat in the early 80’s that only had 140 hours on it. It just needed a wash before before I spray bombed it blue and installed it.

I like your setup as it’s exactly what I did (318 with a mild cam, 302 heads, 340 exhaust manifolds and a 1406). Being a ‘75 it’s already got an electronic ignition but I did install a distributor from Trailbeast to get rid of the slow curve the original ‘75 distributor had.
