yes, a 4bbl intake made for 2bbl heads (like 99.99% of aftermarket intakes available)

such as edelbrock dual plane performer part #2750* (idle-5500 rpm) or the weiand single plane x-celerator #7516 (1500-7000 rpms)

yes you can, the stocker will have a big port mismatch but will work, buy an aftermarket 4bbl intake made for 2v heads
