i'll try to make this short as possible....
I was reading the thread(forgot users name) about the 1980 35 rude that he stripped apart and rebuilt/repainted and you two were discussing ways to get more hp. about the intakes, his motor(and mine 1980 j25rcsa) have 0396788 and you told him that from 1984 on they started using 0391054 and 0395626 for intakes on the 20/25/30/35 motor(wich I assume mine applies also 31.8 block) with the replacement number for those two being 0396790 and that those 3 intakes are slightly taller when laid flat and the middle of the inside was thicker hence another 1.5hp in theory. I already am 99.9999% sure that newer intake will bolt right on to my motor but you have way more knowledge on these and want to hear it come from you before I go hunting parts sites/ebay...... thanks in advance.
and one more quick question....you said they stopped using the 0396788 in 84 and started using the above 3. long story short..... I saw the 0396788 being used on the J28ESLCEA and the J25RLCUR and was wondering if it was a misprint or if there was a reason for it. seen it on ME thanks again.....
