You need to run a carb with that and will no longer be fuel injected.

the intake will not bolt on because it is not for magnum heads. but if you wanna put a carb on you can, i just wouldnt recommend it. fuel injection has a much flater torque curve. i just depends on what your purpose for this tuck is.

it will add prolly 30 horse, assuming your willing to give up and modify all the electronics to adapt to a carb setup, and change the manifold to one that fits the magnum heads. I may be wrong butI believe I read someplace that the pre magnum and magnum cams are interchangable. (my number comes from the understanding that swaping to a carb from fuel injection on a crate 360 adds aprox that much.)
