So Tenxal, did you have this intake installed and if so, how did it perform? And if installed, what was your setup in terms of block and heads?
Thanks in advance!

First small port one I've ever heard of. Seems unusual to run dual carbs on a small port engine?

Thanks for all of the information guys. It would seem to be a lost cause overall to use a 348 cross ram for anything but looks only. Unless you are in a racing class that only allows for changing intakes there just isn't a performance advantage to using this part vs buying a nice Mcquillen, CRW, Edelbrock or Speed-Port outside of the crossram look alone. Its cool to learn a little bit of history but I think the seller of the intake is way off. The money here would be better spent elsewhere on any build.
Good luck telling this to the seller!Keep in mind he has a modified piece (literally ground off the M/T and casting number with tapped unnecessary bolt holes into the intake runners). This is a unique piece with a unique problem. Most 348 owners want a 409. Most 409 owners don't wish to step down to a 348 and everyone starts with the idea that they want a 409 not a 348 before they do the math. I actually tell everyone to buy a 348 and stroke it. You want the look but don't want to spend big bucks then its the only way to go. Some one will buy it for something but as stated before rare doesn't mean worth more.
Looks like a new mail box for me Tom!!!! When do you want me to come over and pick it up???? Beer at Hooter's again????
