John 348/340HP Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 1447 Loc: Glen Cove, NY	Gene, Sorry, but I think you forgot the 348 Special High Perf Four Barrel. This was the Carter AFB on the 320 and the 340 HP 348's and it is not the same it is a dual snorkle same as the 360 and 380 HP 409. Not common but I own a 340 HP 60 Impala John _________________________ John, 1931 4 Door Sedan 1953 2 door 150 Sedan 1954 4 Door Belair Sedan (parts car) 1960 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 Door Biscayne Sedan 1985 Caprice Wagon (Too nice to call unrestored) 1990 Cavalier 4 small doors

John 348/340HP Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 1447 Loc: Glen Cove, NY	Bill, The upper half is also the same on the two barrel cars, the lower half (base) you could use for several years with the flat snorkel air cleaner. I will check tommorow but i think it will be the same up through at least 64 John _________________________ John, 1931 4 Door Sedan 1953 2 door 150 Sedan 1954 4 Door Belair Sedan (parts car) 1960 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 Door Biscayne Sedan 1985 Caprice Wagon (Too nice to call unrestored) 1990 Cavalier 4 small doors
