Re: oldsmobile a4 aluminum intake questions

The A4 flows about as well as a stock cast iron intake, but weighs only 1/3 as much. The A5 has tiny ports and should be avoided at all costs. A4s came on 81-85 307 motors, the A5s came on 86-up 307s. I've seen A4s selling for as little as $15.

The A4 fits on any small block Olds. It has 350-sized ports, so use the 350 gaskets.

Re: oldsmobile a4 aluminum intake questions

If you don't need the EGR, you can remove the two pipes inside the intake and screw in pipe plugs. A turkey tray is not recommended on aluminum intakes. NAPA and others have other gaskets available.
