the aluminum ones are pretty shnazzy but your looking at 250 bucks. i'll bet you can pick up a heavy old iron one of craigslist for dirt cheap. you just have to decide which type, dual plane, torquer, high rise, imitation chrome finish, etc....
i have an edelbrock performer one.

I had a cast iron one f Ford and an Edelbrock. Thestock Cast one was Better,Got 14 mpg and had a Holley 650 on it.The best part is I picked up both at a scrap yard for $45. Think I still have one in Stock. Hard to find parts for a FE anymore. I miss that truck.

That cast iron 390 intake is close to 80 lbs. Use a cherry picker to lift it off. I noticed when I yanked the cast mani and cast exhaust manifolds off and replaced with Edelbrock alum and headers, the truck felt lighter on the front end.
