If you were to sell the Edelbrock heads, you could purchase Ford Motorsport
C302B, Brodix BF300, CHI, or AFD heads and use one of Kelly Coffield's
intakes. Not only would you get the proper itake manifold but you'd get
a better flowing and better matched head for your application. Kelly makes
the intakes for a variety of canted valve heads (4V, A3, B351, C302, etc.)
for Cleveland, Windsor, or Clevor blocks and you can get them with or without
a Windsor-style waterneck and rear seal. The intake has cast-in injector
bungs so you can run the low profile (and less expensive) throttle plates
that fit under the stock screen and decklid or the taller TWM style Weber
look-a-like throttle bodies with integral injector pockets. You can even
run 16 injectors if you want (small idle injectors in the manifold and larger
injectors in the TWM's).

I don't have his most recent pictures up but there are some pictures of
Kelly's handiwork at:

Kelly is a Pantera owner who started this casting project because the proper
intakes for these head and block combinations were not available. He had
put together a group purchase on intake assemblies (intake manifold, throttle
bodies, linkage, air cleaners, etc.). IIRC, Kelly had 48, 50, and 55mm
throttle plates available. The larger throttle bodies are best for large
displacement engines and those with large intake valves.
