Good get there. I'd save that intake for a 235 or a 261. You're going to have a laundry list of things to do to make it work like
-throttle linkage, rods or cable? neither is plug and play, a bit of fabrication.
-manifold heat, water or exhaust? as above, fabrication
-Carburation, There are 2 bbl plates available but with an unmodified 216, you will lose efficiency
-lose originality for a less efficient set-up
That said I will use a Clifford Intake just like the one you have on a 261 (60 over), ported head, Clifford cam, period corvette type dual exhaust manifold, 390 cfm 4bbl carb.
I think it's a good piece just the wrong application for an unmodified 216.
