Just a guess.....the almost 50 year old iron manifold is getting hard to find. Resto crowd looking for them too.

If you'll notice this $700 intake on eBay has a notch cut out of the divider,
I believe that is not legal for stock.
At least that is what Mark Lelchook said about the 1972 340 cast iron intake
I have with the same notch in the divider.

This is an aftermarket manifold. All standards-rules-assumptions- considerations that apply to traditional replacement parts do not apply here. The notch in the divider was common to all Edelbrock manifolds of that era to allow the use of 3-barrel Holley carbs that were the hot lick of the day.

Thanks Billy. I'll see if I can get the Racer Brown ST-14 cam specs approved for the 273 2bbl, and the STX-24 approved for the 273 4bbl combo. That should help a bunch.

It looks like there was a 700cfm Holley carb that was a replacement to go with the LD340. The 340 guys ought to get that added as well.

I need to take out an insurance policy on my parts.

Insurance policies on parts, engines, etc are available. I had one through K & K Insurance when I crashed, and they paid everything I claimed very promptly. Not so good on the motorhome. Allstate

Ok this thing is 13 pages old and my attention span is only so long so when do we get to the part about who asked for this?

hmmm, I looked at two 340 intakes, the 2100 and the 025 , they have no notches. the 2100, is for 71 and 72 340. just observation from the field.
