a 65 mm is good for a healthy stock 302.

65 will work good, if you plan on doing a head and cam swap down the road get the 70 now

If you bought the intake used, you'll need to provide your own gaskets. Otherwise, news ones usually come with the needed gaskets. Lower and upper to lower gaskets.

Im not positive,but if you still have your stock intake its only going to allow so much air it wont matter how big your throttle body is. You may want to upgrade your intake. Ive done this and its night and day.
