    I have a 350 2 barrel Buick Skyark. I want to convert to 4 barrel, but cant find a intake manifold at part stores! TA performance has one but it is over $300 bucks! Let me know if u have or know where to find one!

    You have 3 options for a 4 barrel 350 intake: TA Perf, Poston Buick, and stock 350-4 intakes. You won't find any of them at your typical parts stores, sorry. The good news is that a stock 350-4 iron intake performs well, and it shouldn't be hard to find one thru the board, at a reasonable price.

    There's actually a 4th option, but is much more expensive than TA or Poston.

    I think I gave a 72 intake at home. I will check tonight.

    Stick with stock 4bbl intake unless you just want an aluminum. They are lighter and look nice, but same performance.

    If it's just your 2bbl that's broken, I have another.
    And if you need a 4bbl 72 skylark q-jet, I have a rebuild able core.

    I really need the intake for a 4 barrel 1st! It is one of the hardest things to find without spending big bucks such as TA perf!

    There's a very nice and very complete '72 4bbl setup at a boneyard not far from here. I could see how much he wants for everything. Would be pretty sweet for you, intake, carb, air cleaner,linkage, etc.

    Check it out...

    I just gave one to a member here for $ 25.00 freight/shipping. Hasn't been gone a week. Pretty sure he's 17-18 & on a budget reflecting his age.
    '72 350-4V intake c/w choke well & coil.

    okay, price is $225 includes everything you need to make the conversion. This setup has only been out of service for a few months. All parts are in pretty immaculate shape, air cleaner decal is still good. You won't be dissappointed if you choose to go this route.

    Hi there,
    I have the same problem as lionman80, wanto to convert my 2bbl into a 4bbl 350 skylark.
    So, if you have parts (complete, or the stock manifoild), please let me know (after lionman80, of course).
    Tell me price and shipping cost, remember I am from Spain!!
    Thanks!
