engines almost done, hit a snag

so my stock 350 budget build is almost done, untill last night i noticed that the intake manifold i was planning on using is cracked. so my question is can i use the one off of my old l69? i know they will swap but are they the same internally? and if that wont work will the edelbrock torker 2 work with my q-jet? its a 71 350 4 bolt main casting number: 3870010 (i think) and heres my semi finished engine its painted chevy engine orange the camera made it look red

Use the L69 intake until you can afford something better. The Torker 2 might be slightly better above 3500 rpm, but putting a Q-J on it isn't good. Save up for an Edelbrock Performer or a Weiand.
