LD 4B tells a story...
I had posted a while back about their ports not being consistent in size, and they are fatter and shorter than the 318 and 273 head ports. I think Edelbrocks have always been that way to a certain extent. The Holley intakes have always looked very nice, coming from the Winters foundry. Compare a LD4B to a smallblock Holley Street Dominator and you will see the difference.
