WANTED 318 Cop car intake

I had an ’86 pickup 360 intake (pretty sure it is the same as police 318) with the big ports, but it walked off out of the back of my pickup bed when I was off to help a friend with some small block repairs (along with other things that walked off).
If you don’t find one, have you considered the aluminum Performer (not Performer RPM) intake?
Once painted, it looks extremely close to the O.E. part. That and it’s a heck of a lot easier on the back, to install.
I do have a good, computer controlled Chrysler QuadraJet that I have for sale. I don’t have the numbers in front of me at this moment (at work) but (if I recall correctly), it is off of an M-body 318.

I have an aluminium intake . It's not what I want . I'm looking for the 1 off the Diplomat's . I don't have a computer either . So I won't want a carb that controlled by 1 . They run too rich in my opinion without the computer .

All the research I did on my 78 factory 4 bbl 318 wagon led me to the conclusion that they just used 360 heads and intake but moved the piston pins down in the pistons to keep compression up. So any 360 manifold should do if all the stuff I read was right.
When I get time for it the lean burn is coming off and so is the feedback carb. I have everything to do it except the time.....

I don’t know about the 318 4-bbls in ’78 (so can’t agree or disagree for 318 4-bbls made from ’78 to about ’81).
I do know about the ‘80’s 318 4-bbls – there are two different versions.
The Police 4-bbl version and the non-police 4-bbl version
The Police 4-bbl version did use 360 heads, camshaft, intake and exhaust manifolds.
The non-police 318 4-bbl used 318 heads, intake and exhaust manifolds. Camshafts varied sometimes. Other than camshaft (which varied) the intake is the only “iron” component different between the 2-bbl version.
I refer to 360 heads as the larger port size and valve size commonly used on 340 & 360’s.
Note: the pistons are different between all three versions (2-bbl, 4-bbl and police 4-bbl)

I have a ’84 Gran Fury 318 police engine.
I bought the entire car less intake/carb/air cleaner, less wheels and less radiator/condenser/trans cooler (previous owner took a torch to those last items).
Oddly, the 4-bbl kickdown linkage was tossed aside but intact (which I needed anyway).
Two years ago (or so), I had a ‘71 340, ’79 360 pickup and an ’86 360 pickup 4-bbl intakes.
Tossed all 3 intakes and tools and went to a friend’s house to help him on his project.
After that was done – but before I got home, the two remaining intakes and tools went missing. I suspect a "friend" of my friend, followed me to Wal-Mart – but who knows.
Can’t help you on your intake needs. If you need something for the above mentioned engine, I might be able to help.
I wouldn’t use an iron manifold, unless building a “correct” project.

Please do . I got an intake coming , needing the carb now . Let me know when you send it .
My Quadrajet is from an '88 M-body (there was only one 4-bbl used in M-bodies that year, but several versions in pickups/vans).
Dodge part number is 4306433
Rochester part number is 17085433
Date code is 125 7 (125th day of 1987 – which seams early for an '88).
