Performer 2 Oval Port,its the common Performer Intake youd get from any parts vendor new ones are $160 at Summit part # Edl-2161 ,When i have used ones they sell for $100 if they are real clean,and down.its the best intake for stock to mild mannered Big Blocks but remember if you use a Holley,Carter,Edelbrock Square bore carb you need the adapter gasket.they are a spreadbore intake good for idle to 5500 rpm,and you dont need anything above 5500 in a mild big block.id shy away from the RPM intakes unless you have a lumpy cam,good exhaust,good sized carb.I run that intake on all Big Blocks,unless it calls for more.
