Default Do they make a performance 318 TBI intake manifold?

Do they make a performance 318 TBI intake manifold? Or should I just get an EGR 4bbl intake and one of (http://www.steigerperformance.com/products/sp01014.html) these? I'd like to keep it low budget, so I need to keep price in mind.

I have emissions where I live, so I guess I need EGR. Otherwise I'd be running a 340 intake I found el cheapo with the adapter.

I'm thinking a gently used (or new, if cost allows) 4bbl EGR performance intake with that adapter plate is my only option for an intake manifold change. I've searched and searched for one specifically made for TBI chryslers, and I've found nothing that is pre-magnum. Can anybody lead me in the direction of one?

Thanks everybody.

Mopar makes the M5 but I think it's just for the Magnum motors. You'd have to swap the Magnum heads on to use it.

I have been looking into Edelbrock's EFI kit. It's pricey, but I am dreaming about what I would get out of it:

I think to do it right you would want a complete top end rebuild (with heads, cam, etc.), but start adding it up $$$$. I have emissions in my state also, and I have noticed the disclaimers about emissions. However, with the adjustablility that set up gives you I'm not at all worried about being able to pass emissions.

forget about any aftermarket modifications to the late rams...... best not to mess with any of the electronics, emission stuff, cam, etc..... the motors are pretty good as is, roller cam in all.... I'd say a dual exhuast system with long tube headers would be the best thing..... that is until we swap for a 360

Oh well. I guess I'll just put use the money I would have spent on an intake to make buy a cummins that much faster.
