I'm restoring a 1973 Fiberform 22' Cuddy and I currently getting ready to install the 351 W after having it rebuild. I was thinking about replacing the stock intake with an aluminum intake. The problem I'm having is finding an aluminum intake that has 16 bolts. All the aluminum intakes I've looked at have 12 bolt patterns. Does anyone have an idea of where I might get a 16 bolt aluminum intake and the bolts? :eyecrazy:

I think those are the "old" style manifolds. I don't know if there are any new fitments. I looked up Edelbrock and only could find gaskets.... no alloy manifolds.

I would think they are out there but, sometimes you need patience.
Are there any boat bone yards near you?

I guess I'll have to use the original intake manifold, the problem is I junked the original bolts because they were extremely corroded and I'm having problems locating a bolt kit. I'm going to check out the automotive salvage yards.
