Why would anyone run the 2206000 intake, when you can use a '68-71 440 HP intake? I certainly wouldn't use the 516 heads either when I could use a 915 that's 19 cc larger on the intake side...

For what it's worth, I have a '65 Coronet 426 SW car, and have had no issue finding those intakes or heads that they were originally equipped with.
