318 intakes - old style?

318willrun said
Thinking on doing a 318 over the winter for the truck. Will be a LA roller block, and I don't care about WOT.
I have not tested anything with the early year (like the '69) single plane vs the later year intake. Thinking best torque/power up to about 3000 rpms.
At this point, I know pretty much the rest of the build, just wondering if anyone has compared these intakes. At this time, this direction, it will be the BBD 2bbl. As always, I may change my mind... LOL
As in older intake, the picture below references what I'm talking about

If that is the single plane you've got, go with the dual plane.
Why, you ask?
Because of that stupid bathtub choke well that constantly eats gaskets leaving you with another frustrating exhaust leak right next to the carburetor.
You won't notice a lick's bit of difference performance-wise, but by the time you replace your third gasket you'll be wishing you had used the dual plane with a sealed choke well.
