The stock intakes used on the 472/500/425 engines leave a lot to be desired. They are a very low rise design, some are single plane, but not in a high performance sense. Also, the stock intake is of a "negative plenum" design in which the air/fuel mixture actually flows below the intake port, then back up to the port-not good for flow.

It was made this way to clear the Eldorado hood, and consequently these aftermarket intake manifolds will not clear the stock Eldorado hood.
  
 
MTS/CHP, Edelbrock and others make aluminum aftermarket intakes that are better suited for high performance duty.
