Welcome to the forums..........real nice GP! Stock intake will be OK & Q-jets work well when properly set-up. Lots of really smart guys here that can help or get Cliff's book. It's almost mandatory for Q-jets & he sells the good rebuild kits. Dave K.

X3 I recently rebuilt the Q-jet on my 72 GP with Cliffs kit. Nice kit.

stock intake is taken from a NASCAR design and will out-perform many aftermarket intakes. Just an FYI. Nice car...one of my all-time favorite Pontiac body styles! Ron

Thumbs up More pics!

400 or 455? Nice color combo and the bench seat is great change of pace.

Sure looks like a nice original GP. Is it a low mileage car? More photos please!

Ron is right with the intake. I chose a Comp Thumper for this build and went with a Cali intake as i like seeing the valley pan. I used a Holley 750 for the upgrade cam and intake. But that said, i'm a freak as my GP is >72.
