    Welcome! Any 68-80 Buick 350 4 barrel intake will fit and we have a few options for headers.

    TA performance
    Dougs headers
    Hooker headers

    Welcome, the 350 Buick may look pretty big, but it is actually the small block in the Buick line up. The 400-430-455 are the big block Buick engines.

    TA Performance has 2 four barrel aluminum intakes, one a dual plane, the other a single plane.

    Both of the above intakes have both Quadrajet and Holley bolt patterns. The Quadrajet intakes are the best for hood clearance if you would like the option of running both carburetors at one point or another.

    Of course you can source any of the iron 4 barrel stock intakes and they will work just fine, but they are quite a bit heavier.

    Not sure how headers will fit a Jeep.

    We actually have a Forum for Jeeps with the Buick 350. You may want to ask over there,

    there isn’t really much performance gain going alum the only real advantage is that you can bolt on a Holley carb. I prefer the Q jet though so if it were me I would try to find an iron one.

    for the headers there is no guarantee that they will fit your truck. They might hit something or need to be modified I’m not sure.
