Day 2 Intake
 
What would be the appropriate aluminum Day 2 intake for a '69 BB with oval ports?

Vintage Edelbrock Torker or way out there, a Tarantula.

Those are for square ports..but many say they can be used on round ports or it it the other way around..round port intakes can by used on square port heads.???

The rectangular port intake can be used on oval port heads. There are quite a few vintage aluminum intakes for oval port heads though.

I would guess you are refering to a single 4 barrel intake. Edelbrock, Offenbauser an Weiand made single four barrel intakes back then for round ports but many were designed for Quadajets but I can't remember for sure..I will have to check my catalogs and get back with you.

No one made a round port tunnel ram back in the day. Weiand was the first to do so and that version did not come out until 1977- 1978 ish.

They most certainly <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">did</span></span> make a Torker with oval ports: The &quot;TM2O&quot;.

I even used one on a big block powered pickup truck way back when.

You could also use a C396 (dual plane) or a C66 (dual plane, dual four barrel) -- all for an oval port BB Chevy.

I used an oval-port Torker on my '67 Camaro back in the 80's. I loved the way the big Holley carb sat an angle. Great intake for power all the way up to around 6700 rpm where I shifted at.

C396 would be a great choice for the street.
