I'm still waitin for proof that one of these "retrofitted" intakes makes
any real improvement other than the bragging rights of saying you did it.
 You've got 50's cylinder heads and a Siamese center exhaust port. Flowbench for testing then a few dyno runs to see if the top end increase kills the low end or???

The new airgap should be easiest to "whack Off" (pun intended, or not, you decide)

I do find it interesting at how many people reinvent this "wheel" every few years.
