would an older 350 intake fit on the 72 350's. the on i can get is a 66. the one that wants it has a 72? let us know please
The gasket kit I bought was for all buick 350's from 68-80. The intake will work aslong as it's from a buick 350, but I don't think they made them in 66. Check the #'s on it.
I think Buick cast the engine size on the back of the block or intake, above where the trans mates up. '68 was the first year for the 350, in '66 I think you'd probably be looking at a 340, and I don't think anything interchanges 340 and 350. But any year 350 intake should fit any year 350. Only difference I know of is the choke coil mounting, in '72 they went to a stupid hole in the crossover passage, instead of just a depression. They like to leak exhaust beside the carb :spank: ...
James is correct, 68 is the first year of Buick 350 production, as I stated in that other thread. I'm not sure how you would identify the 340 engine. I'm sure the intake will not interchange.
Doesn't look like a 350 to me. If it were, you should be able to spot a "350" cast into the bell housing behind the intake. I think mine also has it cast into the lower rear on the block. I do not know what you would find on a 340. How about posting some identifying #'s off that engine, maybe someone can id it for you.
thanks, i'll get some numbers when i go out there later and post them. maybe it'll say on the back of the motor as well.
One way to identify a 340 is the exhaust ports on the heads. They are evenly spaced apart. The 350's center ports are beside each other.
it must be a 340. that intake is what it looks like. thanks everyone for the help. its kind of odd, around here i ask ?'s to a mechanice to try and figure something out for someone and they send me to another guy or give me another number to call. but sence i got on this v8 buick forume. its a matter of a post and replys come in and the answer has always come and an explination. i have to say you guys out there are awsome thanks for always helping me out.:TU: :Comp:
Just to let you know that 340 4 barrel intake you have are very hard to find. When I was trying to find mine over the winter months it took me 4 hard months of searching every night to find it, and it was out in arizona. I bought mine for $75 but was willing to pay upwards of 100. You might want to try and sell it, if someones looking Im sure you could get some decent money for it. Joe
