Which intake??

So I've got a factory 350 that I'm swapping from EFI to carb and dist. While I'm at it I decided to swap the intake and add headers. I'm not looking to make a power house, this is a basic highway cruiser.

What intake manifold would you suggest for factory cam/heads? Square bore carb setup preferred.

Year of car and engine type (TBI /TPI ) might go some way to getting the correct answer , not all years the same specs

Maybe fill your profile in so people don't have to ask the obvious

Re: Which intake??

I've actually got a few of these. This motor was a basic 350 long block the past owner had put into place. Sadly there were no cam specs with the paperwork I received. I was leaning towards an edelbrock performer wanting something basic. Having no info on this motor is obviously where the problem lies, but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with a cant go wrong intake. Like I said I'm not making a powerhouse, just want to shave some of the weight and move to a square bore intake.

The performer is a good choice.
