Intake question

I have a 77 F250 with the 351M. I want to switch to a 4 barrel carb and aluminum intake. What intake do I get? Non egr or egr, any specific brand, and what's the best intake/carb combination to get with a stock motor? I should say it looks as though all the emissions stuff has been removed from the truck.

You guys are fast! 😜 Does it come with a new baffle for underneath or do you use the old one or get rid of it?

The 351M/400 intake gasket (That you'll order $45 .00 from Rock auto) comes with the baffle built into it ..

Another option is a Weiand Action Plus 4V intake, PN 8010 ($213 from Summit) which costs about $70 less than the Edelbrock.

Pair it with a 4V, vacuum secondary carb like the Eddy 1406, a Holley 4160, or even Summit's house-branded 600 cfm carb. The latter is about $290... $50 less than the Eddy or Holley.
