383

will intake off 71 440 fit on 66 charger 383?

NO, 440 is an RB block along with 413 and 426 WEDGE.
383's are low deck, or B series
What will work are 361, 383, and 400's

20 ton porta-power placed between the 383 heads and push a little and you might get it to fit?

Any ideas on best intake- carb package? Only improvements so far is 440 six pack cam.

I'm extremely old school.......
But after 40+ years of monkeying with 383's, my personal preference (here starts the debates) for a mild build are:
Weiand 8008 and a vac secondary Holley for street applications. I've owned just about every variation of both dual and single plane manifolds, and most carb variation also. IMHO, the closer to a stock build, Edelbrock is a very good choice also.

Thanks moparwacko, have owned dozens of dodges over the years but this is only the second big block first was a 65 chrysler new yorker with 413 2 bbl,back in the day,but never got into doing any modifications just kept them stock. this will be my first kick at the cat and will be keeping the 66 charger completely stock,matching numbers,just thought i would give this one a little more snap.
Thanks again Bruce.
