Are you talking intake manifold or cold air intake

I bet you're referring to the intake tube swap, the part in question is between the airbox and grill. the I6 and 460 trucks use a different one than the small block V8's and the former appears to provide better airflow potential as it draws from a large hole besides the rad instead of over the top between the rad and hood. I seriously doubt this makes any difference on a stock motor however.

Yeah it's an attempt to improve intake airflow, but as already stated the intake system really isn't a point of restriction on a stock 300/302/351 truck so there won't be any noticable gains here until the exhaust is improved and the engine upgraded to move more air.
