351W carb engine intake question
I have a 1983 ford f150 4X4 with a 1985 ford bronco 351W engine. The engine was recently rebuilt and balanced, i have a edelbrock 1406 carb. I have a chance to buy an Edelbrock victor junior high rise air gap aluminum 4 barrel intake for $100.00 bucks, good fit and good deal or no go? I wanted to put in headers and dual exhaust first but this deal presented itself....opinions on what to do? In case you haven't noticed I am a beginner and am trying to rebuild Dad's old truck for my daily driver.

Quotes from Edelbrock website:
Not at all suitable for a truck. The Performer would be more suitable.
VICTOR SERIES MANIFOLDS (3500 to 8500+ rpm)
Single-plane, high-rise intakes designed for maximum race-winning power at higher engine speeds.

PERFORMER® MANIFOLDS (Idle to 5500 rpm)
Performer manifolds are dual-plane, low-rise intake manifolds with a 180° firing order and patented runner design that you won't find in other brands. This patented design greatly improves torque over a wide rpm range for excellent throttle response, especially off-idle through the mid-range. Performers are ideal for passenger cars, trucks, 4x4s, tow vehicles and RVs. There are EGR and non-EGR versions available for most domestic V8 and some V6 engines. Most Performer intakes are 50-state street legal, when used with the correct carburetor and in the correct application. Check the individual listings for detailed information.
