440 Aftermarket Intake

[WileE]

If for no other reason it (alum intake) will help reduce heat sink & boiling the gas out of the carb. I would also invest in a phenolic spacer to help with this some more. I'm sure Indiana is just as hot as it is here in Iowa in the summer. It will help with hot starts. Also if your just a nice weather cruiser I'd block off the heat risers in the intake. I think there used to be a intake pan that had them blocked but not sure. You'll also probably have to relocate the coil if the intake doesn't have tapped holes for that bracket.

In this specific case, this is the BEST reason to do so. Or an intake to use with a spacer and a thermo-quad. The heat issues with today's gas formulation is probably your main concern.
