371 4v manifold
The 1959-60 "371" came with two barrel carbs. ANY 1959-64 (394) four barrel intake manifold will work. You may need to change the bell crank.
What type of carb do you plan to use provided you find a 4bbl intake?
Keep in mind that the HydraMatic throttle valve rod adjustment is critical to its operation and survival. The linkage is different between 2bbl and 4bbl so you need the 4bbl linkage too.
This assumes you use the factory Rochester 4GC 4bbl carb. If you try to use, say, a Carter AFB style carb or a Holley, you'll probably have to fabricate a TV linkage and you need a thorough understanding of how the TV rod works and how to adjust it properly.
