I bought a polished Offenhauser 5762 for a 413 RB. Unfortunately turned out to be a 5764 with the model number taped over, for a 383/400.

If anyone has any recommendations for a similar style intake, please let me know ASAP. I have my car torn apart upgrading under the hood and really don't want to put the painted original intake back. Looking for something to match my Cal Custom valve covers.

Annoying because I need to wipe off the RTV and deal with this later, I covered everything up with big sheets of fresh paper. I'm trying to have this fixed yesterday so I'm debating just buying an Edelbrock but I really don't want to unless the performance is out of this world. I have a QFT 750 carb and would like a nice intake to pair with that. Any recommendations welcome, as well as criticism on anything I'm doing

The Edelbrock CH4B(?) and companion DP4B for the 383s, were the recommended-by-Direct Connection aluminum intakes of the later 1960s. Back when Edelbrock was casting a Chrysler factory part n umber in them for the stock drag race class legalities. The newer Performer variations seem to be upgraded versions of those earlier manifolds, sans the factory part numbers. The earlier ones come up on eBay every so often, used. FWIW

Everything looks really nice under there!

Ok, let me clarify. I have a 413 - RB engine (413/426/440 block)

The intake I received is for a 383. I do not want 383 intakes since they don't fit

413/RB intakes, aluminum preferred. If anyone can link me to a part for sale, I would greatly appreciate it. I hate having wet, oiled engines opened up for long periods, that's why I seem antsy

Also happy 4th everyone!
 
The later cast intake for 440 from '68-'70 flowed pretty well. Tarantula TM-7 was a good high performance manifold that would be period correct on a vintage hot rod engine. TM-7 had very good high end flow but sacrificed low end torque because of the single plane design.
