Default Aluminum Intake #'s Question

I hope this is in the correct forum, if not just give me the boot. I went to check out a big block for sale the other day and I think that I have figured out the heads and block numbers but can't find the intake. The numbers are 3866963. Any help figuring out the original application of this intake would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

"Corvette by the numbers" says it's a 65' 396 425 HP. Also says" This intake was the first production BB square port aluminum intake. It also was the only BB aluminum intake w/o a divorced choke setup. The intake has a 3-hole carb pad simular to eariler 409 intakes. It does not have an oil splash shield."

Duke94,
Thanks for such a quick reply. Was this a Corvette only intake or is it correct for other applications?

My book (Corvette by the numbers) doesn't say. Someone that has a "Chevrolet by the numbers" book should be able to check it.
