Yes, that is a DUAL QUAD intake (ie. two four barrel carbs). You might want to post some info on what you want to do with your project before deciding to buy this manifold. I am sure alot of people could give you some good leads.

Personally, I wouldn't purchase this manifold unless I already knew where I could get ahold of an aftermarket cam for my 394 (I have looked and I don't know of a supplier). Just because you slap a high speed intake and huge carb on an engine doesn't mean it will use it effectively.

If you want an aftermarket carb I would suggest an Edelbrock square bore. I used the 700 cfm Edelbrock on my 394 for a short time and it ran excellent. It was just difficult to set it up properly with the transmission (since our cars have the mechanical throttle valve set up). Also, be aware that a multi carb set up requries a complicated throttle linkage and may not work with the mechanical throttle valve on the Slim Jim transmission. If you are unfamilar with cars and new to the hobby I would not suggest a multi carb set up.
