Not sure... but you should probably post your question in the ENGINE forum for the most/best responses!

Absolutely.
I've done this before myself.

That Edelbrock C396 intake from the 70's is a great oval port intake, hang on to it, they are hard to find anymore.

you can even put a square port on an oval head. the oval alum. intake will fit right on your motor.:thumbsup:

I installed a performer oval port intake on my peanut port heads, no problems. Jim
