  My guess would be because he's using an M1 intake with the stock
fuel injection. Probably couldn't mount it on the 340 heads. (I'm
not sure why he chose not to fuel inject the 340 intake, seems like
he should've been able to do that...) That's a pretty impressive truck
though; lots of custom work that's way out of MY league, that's for sure!!
