I have a 1965 mustang with a 1978 302 in it. It has the D8VE block and is mostly stock besides headers and exhaust. I'm wondering what intake manifold I should go with. I'm looking at the Edlebrock performer rpm and at some weiand intakes and wondering what would be best. I would be using a holley 600 with the intake thanks in advance.

back when i had my 302, i had a typhoon aluminum intake. basically its a knockoff of the performer,(not performer RPM). i had a crane energizer split cam, longtubes, stock E7 heads, and a C4 tranny. while it only put like 190/225 to the wheels it felt peppy and had good throttle response even in my big 73.

I second the Performer/Performer 289. A 600 carb is plenty and a vac. Secondaries model or adjustable air flap will be easier to be streetable than a double pumper.
But, are heads and a cam in the works? The Air Gap intakes test well if you have hood and brace room. And if you upgrade the rest of the top end, a Performer RPM would fit the power curve better.
