Yeah that looks completely different from the current Performer. Why isn't that still in production? What's the reasoning behind stickimg with the defective design? I don't get it...

Having said that, it looks like it's missing some threaded holes that my stock manifold was using. I won't know for sure until I have everything assembled again

P4B QJ was designed before the energy crisis in mid 70's with generous runner volume, the Performer we know today is the end result of the crisis.

This intake made the car much smoother over the factory 4-bbl Carter carb intake
