Hello V8 Buick, Ho can tell me? What is better A stock 4bbl intake manifold or A aftermarket. Is it A big differens!! And whits year stock intake manifold is better? when there is A differens! I can buy A 1970/71 stock intake manifold. Thanks.
64y the aftermarket is better. i am planning on getting th buck 350 stg 1 intake manifold. 25-35 hp gainm over stalk
Yes, the TA performance Stage1 Aluminum manifold is the best intake for the 350 Buick, Hands down!:TU:
TA may be the best but you wont beat my price of 50 bucks plus shipping for a stock which has been boiled, painted and cured. Think it is a 71 model.
The stock intake 1972 and older is decent. I'd go stock unless the engine is modified. Do you have a different camshaft and headers, etc? If so, you will get more from a TA intake over stock. If engine is stock, save your money because the difference will be minimal. You don't need the extra breathing capacity if the engine is completely stock. My $.02
Hello V8 Buick, Thanks very much for your replys boy. The intake is A 1975 model 1249168. I dicovert to day. I am sorry Tomking shippig it to the Netherlands is to expensive (stok is very heavy). I am in the bisy looking to by A new cam like the TA C110 bicose my cam and Hydraulic lifters ar bade. Woode the 1975 Intake be good to use?? Thanks.
Hello V8 Buick, Can any one thell me if A 1975 intake 4bbl 1249168 whil work on A 1970 buick 350. I whil have TA C-110 cam. What kinde of carburetor I shall use??? Thanks.
The 1975 intakes are Ok, if you don't have a lot of money to spend. They do have EGR and other smog equipment provisions, so they are not as good for your performance as the 1972 and older intakes. If you use the 1975 intake, I'd use the stock type Quadrajet carb. Holley, Demon and Edelbrock will need an adapter. How much power do you want? The TA intake is a lot better than the stock 1975 intake for power! Now that I know you plan to use a TA 110 cam, I would recommend the TA intake. What do you want the engine to do in the end? Is this engine in a 4 wheel drive truck?
Hello SBBuick, I want to have A bit more power. When I am rite the engine hase now 230hp. But I read also 260hp. Nou I have to replace the cam any whe. I like to have som more hp. And the carburetor is worne to. But I have to look at my buget to. There are not A lot of Buick manifolds hear in the Netherlands so I have to do whit the 75 one. So in the end I just whant to have A bit more hp. I juse the car as A daly driver to work. I whas A 4x4 but I made it A 4x2 by change the transmision for A TH200-4R. I dit finde A 1982 oldsmobile Quadrajet. Do You think I can juse it fore the Buick. Thanks.
If you are lucky...... If you are lucky it will, if your not it wont, without re-jetting the carb. I am assuming the intake is intended for a Q-jet. (BIG secondary holes) There are some guys among us on the Webb who I know got the know how, But you might have to try different set apps before you are satisfied. If you have a dual exhaust, my advice to you is to ad a crossover pipe to the system, this will give you some cheap torque and hp gains, especially at the low end. I added one myself last year, and it was well invested time, (did it my self) You can also block the exhaust passages that allows hot exhaust gas to heat the intake. If the intake and carb. is cooler the fuel/air sucked in will be more compact. More fuel/air = more power. Lars (Sweden)
