The "W" on your manifold shows it is a GM manifold cast at the Winters foundry. It's a good manifold.
The 4780-2 is a Holley 4150 800 cfm mechanical secondary carb. It should be jetted 70 primary, 85 secondary with a 6.5 power valve and .031 shooters. It's probably a bit big for a mild 350, but can be tuned to run well.

Thanks for the info lars it is running a Lt1 solid lifter cam with 11 to 1. I just thought it was a Lt1 intake, from 370hp. I know it is not a 70 Lt1 engine. The engine was bored out 30 over and was a 350hp, THANKS JON
You have an over-the-counter replacement 1970 LT-1 (Camaro or Vette) intake. It's identical to the 3972110 casting number which came OEM on '70 LT-1's. As said it's a good manifold and probably worth a few bucks.

Thanks for info I thought it was a Lt1 because the engine was rebuilt on Lt1 specs--push rod guide plates in heads, solid lifters, screw in studs, I am trying to learn about these vettes JON
