It has the KRE d port heads and 10.2 compression ratio. I haven't decided on the intake but will likely use a 65 intake for the newer bolt pattern and keep the existing carbs. This should allow me to use the proper 62 tri power air clearer.... instead of the 3 separate air cleaners. The other option would be to use the KRE tri power intake setup for the smaller center carb however I have no idea if tri power air cleaner will fit this combination. In any event, I don't know anything about the current tri power setup other than it works good. If I go with the a 65 intake what changes (if any) should I anticipate making?
