riv2x4 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The 64 dual quad intake is different thatn the 65/66. For 65 you need the one with 316 as the last three digits on the casting not 306. The kickdown switch bracket bosses and coil mounts are different between the different casting #'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) It's already sold... (Anyone out there who is selling one? I don't want to go with a Offenhauser intake...THXSailorIf you're not going for "stock" take a look at this one from Eelco. It has about the same flow features as a stock Buick manifold.EELCO ManufacturingIf/when you contact them, take every precautioinn you can that 1) They actually have it 2) pay for it in a way that you can get a refund if they fall through. There has been some bad press about Marty Lackner. If he's still involved, proceed with caution.This is a link to Russ Martin's website and Tech Info. Russ is regarded to be one of the two most knowledgeable nailhead gurus out there (the other being Tom Telesco.) Read tips number seven and eight before buying an Offy manifold. If you're looking for a real performance 2x4 intake keep an eye open for an Edelbrock B262 for a nailhead - search Google Images for a picture of one. If you find one, it will be worth it but be prepared to dig very deeply into your wallet.15 Most Common Mistakes |Ed Edited November 18, 2012 by RivNut (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don McClair Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The rear A/C bracket is the same as any 401 (to my knowledge but will not clear the finned aluminum valve covers. Clark's Corvair parts sells a new one specifically for the finned aluminum valve covers and their part number R277 for $38.50.
