[68 Firebird]

Years ago I picked up a factory 140 intake for a few bucks at the E-town swap meet.
I then had a winter project where I removed exhaust crossover and seperated water crossover
.
Did light gasket match and removed casting flash. Heck it looked awesome.

Made aluminum block off plates for head and installed. Well it worked too good!
After test runnning in garage on the area below Q-jet was cold!!!
After test run for 45 minutes it was barely warm. And she had slight hesitation
Going heavy throttle on take off. Even with 180 stat I was running.
Also Exhaust note changed and well I reinstalled the 9794234 and all
Returned to normal.

Have followed the repop aluminum thread and just know I would be sent one
with wacky ports. So my question is why not just buy the iron exhaust crossover
And try my modified intake again. Exhaust crossover would keep Q-jet choke
satisfied and some heat while transfer to bottom of intake. Just spitballing and
Have the 140 and crossover sitting on shelf as garage art!!!

Also I do like the look of the 2 piece intake as well.
