You won't beat it for all round driving plus they are 800 cfm. And it looks stock. Using adaptors to mount the other type carbs on the Q-Jet intake is a bad joke.

My cost on the valves is under 175. Not sure what the price is on the studs right now. Haven't done any in a year or so. And then I used the new ARP studs I already had. Shouldn't be more than 600 unless you need guides.
Goquick , I thought around 75 or 76 the Q jet intakes were restricted with that squared off secondary passage - So, did the 77 - 78 intakes on T/A's lose this bs feature ?
