Thanks Les, and I'd say about 50% of the time the truck is fully loaded. I was thinking about clamping the intake manifold in the Bridgeport and milling it to accept a small base Rochester 2G. After a few days searching the internet it would appear the intakes are the same
Several guys over on Inliners have done that. You end up milling into the heat crossover passage and wind up with a real problem trying to seal it up again. Stick with the intake in stock form or get and Offy 4 bbl intake and put a 2 bbl adapter on it. Modifying the stock intake is a dead end.
