When you say intake do you mean the manifold? Or the throttlebody/carb? also, year? what fuel system?

I snooped around and found out you have a 1987 3.9L/239

If you mean just the intake manifold, then get a b&m 174 series, they can be found around for as low as 100 on ebay. They have the standard 4 hole mounts for throttle bodies and carbs. Meaning you could go find even a four barrel carb or a b&m supercharger and blower for around 2000.

That was from a 5 minute google search.

on a small cubic inch and mild engine do NOT out trick your self with a too big carb. that engine will not need more than 400-450 CFM. any more will just kill low RPM HP.

Here is an example of pretty much one of your only options, it is a b&m 8901079, hasn't been in production for years and they are very difficult to find.

Yes I know this is a link to a dead auction but it is only to give you an idea of what this beast is. Also, they have really good pictures of it

TBH I think you may have far better luck maybe adapting from another engine

OR even rarer is the MOPAR v6 M1 manifold (pn: 4492440), but I have no idea where to even look
