318 2bbl Intake Mods ?

there's a chance it would. But I'm going to stick to even the factory air cleaner. The mass production runs of the 318's has had to leave some on the table if a guy wants to individualize the parts. That's what I'm going to try to do. I'm not pulling the motor or doing anything with the short block. I've already replaced the timing chain with a edelbrock double roller. The van does have dual exhaust.
I don't blame you for not wanting to do anything to the short block, pulling a van engine is not fun.
