What intake is it? What carb is it? 250 for a used intake and carb sounds high to me.

too high priced imo
spend another hundred and you can get both brand new from jegs or summit.

I've worked plenty with both. Holley is nice because its the easiest carb to rebuild, but then again, a good carb shouldnt need to be rebuilt. I prefer edelbrock myself, actually installing mine now, you'll findo out tho that going from stock, the swap isnt as easy as you may think. Enjoy though, if your getting edelbrock intake put and edelbrock carb on it.

Just curious ~ Why you would say that
on a 72 small block V-8. I mean he's not switching to EFI. Seems it's straight forward to me.
