The fact you did not specify is YOUR desire:

(1) eye candy (tripower or dual AFB's)
(2) street performance with a basically stock engine (single AFB, dual AFB, Q-Jet)
(3) win the bench "my engine makes more HP than your engine" race (dual AFB, Holley, Q-Jet)

Footnote: All AFB references above are to genuine Carter AFB's.

Once you have answered the above question to YOUR satisfaction, the choice of an intake manifold becomes fairly obvious.

Jon, you're absolutely right, I should have been more specific. My 65 build is going to be a weekend cruiser which fits # (2) street performance with a basically stock engine (single AFB, dual AFB, Q-Jet). Thanks.

If you decide you want to use the factory 65 intake I have one that needs a new home.
