Seeking advice intake manifold

having AC is going to limit your choices, a lot of aftermarket intakes don't have provisions for it. or at least for the stock pick ups on the brackets. so that means aftermarket brackets/systems. a lot of intakes don't have a provision for the coil mount, either.

the one that jumps to mind that meets all of your criteria: AC, fits under the hood, etx is the edelbrock performer. but you'll have a port mismatch, so you should at the very least gasket match it. oh, and if you have a TQ it will fit.

however, i don't think that there's a massive upgrade to going to the performer from the stock intake.
