Intake Suggestion?
It will perform well, but;
You'll give a few HP with a LD340. It lacks a few things the modern intakes have. The runners are not swept and some turn abruptly. It is also not as tall. The extra height is helpful in atomizing the air and fuel charge.
The air gap is also a slight advantage over the LD340 or RPM with the gap. It's helpful, but small potato's in the big picture. Worth having, sure, worth paying for over a regular RPM... not really. If your concerned over maxing out your combo, then get it.
The old Mopar books showed a "Cheat trick" on that LD340 intake.
Pictured below is a standard LD340 intake with the notch divider.
Below that is a LD340 with the T-Q carb mod and milled divider mod down to , Umm, I think it was 3/8th inch. (Sorry, it's been about 18 - 19 years since I did it.) Also, theres a T-Q gasket on it. That may throw your peception off.
Use this MOD with acre since you not only can't put the metal back, but as per Mopar, it should be used with a good .550+ lift cam.
(AKA Large!)
