Well if you already had a ‘76 intake on that ‘69 engine you already knew how to deal with the exhaust crossover mismatch.

If you don’t already have the matching bathtub style valley pan that clears the huge EGR passages cast into the bottom of the ‘73 intake then you need one.

This is one instance where one of the regular Edelbrock Performer intakes would come in handy, as long as you don’t mind dealing with all the fuel line/linkage/choke/PCV hookup issues like most any other aftermarket intake presents you with. It fits both early and late crossover designs, any type of valley pan and any square bore or spread bore carb as well.

If you’re trying to source a ‘73 -‘74 factory intake you’d better find something local to avoid the incredibly expensive shipping, those things weigh a ton.
