Thanks buddy.
Look, I debated the Weiand for so many reasons, so many ways, so many times.
I'm telling you, seeing your F&B setup on that intake was like hearing the Songs Of The Sirens!! That image haunted my mind. Often I wake up through the night, and often I take those few minutes to check car forums, mostly threads I've been active in. I have read, consumed, devoured, deconstructed, and examined EVERY speck of information about the Weiand that the internet can offer.
I'm happy to say that the guy in the Victory Library article about his unique mods that he did after trying the Chrysler Performance manual mods actually emailed back and forth with me! I've spoken with a couple of guys who use the Weiand, one who has used his for over 10 years! He was kind enough to fab a couple of return spring brackets for me and sent them to me for free, along with a printout of Holley 2bbl carb parts list, and the diagram of the carb and manifold mods specific to the Weiand (although I already had them). Speaking of the Chrysler Performance bulletins on aftermarket aluminum intakes, I located the ONE edition of that book that has ALL of the mod info on ALL of the intakes and I bought the ONE copy that I could find for sale. So yes, I had become consumed by the "legendary" Weiand P3690982 6bbl intake!
I am very encouraged by his reports in particular, because he has used his on a car that is street driven a lot.
I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD to a report from you, or the guy who I bought the gaskets from, on what kind of performance y'all get from your F&B setups!!
Anyway, now that I actually have the intake, and a truly nice example of it, I will do my own work with it, and it all begins with seeing how/if it fits under my hood. Measurements first, installing it next, and then ultimately doing whatever it takes to get it to work with the Air Grabber. That will change again once I get the TrickFlow 240s or 270s, as it's my understanding that those heads push the intake even higher.
