The original torker 340 was a doorstop or smelter material. I do like the Wheel Chock assessment as well. Worked in very limited range that most street cars never saw. Better to keep the shop door open on one side with a Torker and the other door with a pinion snubber... :)
That 8007 is a decent intake, similar to the 318/360 performer. One thing I don't like is the reversed ports and missing coil bracket mount tab on pass side above the 6/8 ports. Prefer the EDE for that reason (Ede seems to have a bazillion water ports on it Sheesh). Could always fab up a 6 pack style coil mount bracket.
The port window thing... Those weiand intakes the 8007 (Action +) and 8022 (stealth, supposed to be 340-360 intake right?) have EXACTLY the same window!!! 1.00x1.96 Plenty of stuff runs fine with the smaller window. In fact, the 318/360 ede will run darn close to an air gap/RPM intake with a few minutes opening the window and running a 1" open spacer... If you can spend a few minutes massaging the 8007, it will work great on most any reasonably cammed engine.
The 8007 is only .06 taller than a stock 340 intake. Hood clearance should not be an issue.
Don't get caught up in intake flow numbers. There are plenty of examples where a higher flowing intake made less power and less usable power throughout the range. What matters is how the engine runs in the car. Same with dynos, engine made best power jetted here, timing here... put it in a car and none of that is the right number, jet, setting. It's a baseline to start with and adjust as the car/suspension tells you what it wants.
If it's going on a 273, I would not touch the divider at all.
