Racing Beat intake manifolds are nice.

I would go with a 465 or maybe 500 for a stock 12A.

I've got a Racing Beat manifold for 12a that will fit a Holley if you're interested.

These aren't generic v8s, there are no off the shelf high rise intakes
or adaptors.

What you need is an intake manifold for a 12a engine. You can get one
at www.racingbeat.com, www.mazdatrix.com and maybe other places.

Or you can post a wanted add in the classifieds and get a used one or
look in the classifieds and see if anyone is selling what your looking for.

But before you invest money in that direction, you might want to familiarize yourself with the stock carb so that you can make an informed decision. Do some reading over at Sterling's site: www.sterlingmetalworks.com

Once you fully understand what you have (assuming you currently have a stock carb) then you can decide where you want to go, and the best way to get there.
