A few early "Astro" vans may have had an iron 4bbl intake in the mid eighties. Have never seen one, but normally don't examine astro/safari vans very closely in the yards, either. Nor have i seen a four cyl one, believe that the "iron duke" was the base engine in the early years of that van, as well.

In 1985 and 1986, GM installed a 4 barrel intake & carb on the 4.3LT V6 in the Astro vans and the light duty full size pickups. The intake manifold is cast iron, and its heavy, but it does have provision for an EGR valve, and other emission controls. Its set up for a Quadrajet carburetor.
