New Intake and Carb Need Help

I have successfully swapped a 5L HO from a '92 TBird into my '76 Bronco using the original Bronco intake and 30 year old 2Bl carb. Now I want to upgrade to an aluminum intake manifold and a new 4bl.

I would like to use a non-EGR intake.

How are the the exhaust ports from the heads blocked off ?

Would you need some special carbon intake gaskets or steel shims?

Also any suggestions re intake and carb selection would be very helpful (strictly low speed around town driving, no off road use).

well with the right non egr intake there is no hole for hte exhaust heat riser. Otherwise Fel-Pro has gaskets with or without the hole and also have a blocking plate as well

x2 on those gaskets.

You may want to consider a non metalic carburator spacer, that will also help insulate the carb from the engine heat. Most folks I know do this too.

I thought the exhaust gases would eventually blow through a regular intake gasket. I'll check if one is available with blocking plate. Thanks.
