340 head, intake advice please

It does have that balancer. Haven't been under the car yet to check the flywheel. Have receipts from a machine shop for the engine and tranny rebuild. Thanks for the info! Was concerned about vacumn, oil, water leaks with the small port intake.

915 heads are not small port. They are the standard 340/360 size port.

Recently picked up an unfinished car. 73 340, .040. 3418915 heads. Edelbrock performer intake. Aside from the obvious difference in intake manifold, head port sizes, will this seal up without any leaks? Not concerned with performance at the moment. Would like to get the car running and driving with what's here before we start dropping cash bombs. Thanks very much.

Nevermind. I'm stupid. You were talking about the intake ports. Yeah, it's a bit of a mismatch, but Chrysler did it with millions of 318 four barrel engines. They used the large port intake on the small port head. Opposite of what you're doing, but still, they must notta thought much about it. It worked pretty well.
