I would be interested in this unit if it will fit my 1970 455 street engine. Update me on this when you have time, thanks Jimm

Should work good on 455 being dual plane and the Air Gap under the runners

Those are cool intakes. I know I wanted one for my latest 455 resto but it was too tall to keep the factory OAI hood/air cleaner look and functionality. If you aren't concerned with that---they work amazing! I chose the Performer instead and was able to make the math and dimensions work with a few alterations.

I had success modifying several things on my 71 442 to retain the factory OAI look while still using an aftermarket manifold. Perhaps you can reuse some of the things I did and found helpful in my post for your Air Gap manifold. Hope this helps:
