Tpigeon still has the oem 73 intake available for my setup it will perform as well as the the performer
and I keep it closer to original. From here I'll search out a new carb to finish the set up.
From several dyno tests seen, the basic take away was there basically equal in performance. The Performer was designed as a direct replacement to the factory intake only in aluminum. So that’s an easy 25lbs.
As far as a carb goes, if you don’t want the TQ, the previously mentioned AVS @ 650 cfm is a good fit. As I said earlier as well, use the thick Edelbrock carb to intake gasket to keep fuel cool. The throttle cables you posted earlier are fine as well. You won’t need the throttle bracket adapter ether.
