I know I am old and dumb, but my friend has a v6 in his 82 El Camino. It has an Edelbrock intake and Q Jet. Strange part is, the heads are mirror images of each other, NOT the same on both sides. The ports are such that the exhaust from one head will not bolt up to the other side!
We were going to swap just the heads and found the manifold problem and we didn't want to change them.
We tried a 4.3 Q Jet iron intake and one of the intake ports will be exposed!
Anyone else seen this???
If so, what is this thing???

Definitely a Chevy. Was supposedly a 4.3. Dist in the rear, looks like 3/4 of a SBC just like it should. Problem is, the two siamesed ports for the intake are on the SAME END of the engine, same with exhaust so "normal" manifolds and headers won't work.
