260 motors have unique (miniscule) ports and thus uses a unique intake. While the intakes from other SBOs will bolt up, the flow disruption from that port mismatch will reduce power below that of the stock DualJet intake. I don't even think an A5 has small enough ports.

I have 2 of these intakes if you are still interested. Both were taken off of running cars about 2006 and have been in my basement since then. The red/blue one was taken out of a 1978 442. Whole engine compartment was painted red. Don't know why. The other came out of a 1979 Cutlass Calais.

Both intakes were removed from Olds 260 V8 engines. The 1978 442 could only get 1 of 3 engines- Buick 231 V6 2bbl, Olds 260 V8 2bbl, and a Chevy 305 V8 2bbl or 4bbl. I parted out a 1978 442 that had the 260. The car ran but was in sad shape. Probably could have been restored if I wanted to spend many thousands of dollars, but it wasn't worth it.
Both intakes have the casting # 558916 and have a large A1 on the front left area next to the thermostat housing.

Hello, my apologies. Obviously I was confused. Thanks for the information.
