So the AVS2 or 9895 would be a direct swap onto both the alloy oem spreadbore intake on my 70s 350 -AND- the high rise oem iron intake for my 85’s 4.3L V6? Asking because the Qjet I have needs to be rebuild and will not come apart. Could only get the lower plate off for a gasket replacement. Top 2/3 are stuck solid.

No, just an aftermarket intake with an open or split/open plenum design that is meant for use with a spread bore and square bore carburetor. Otherwise an adapter would be needed.

While that AVS2 has different sized bores, it essentially is still a square bore carburetor.

So rebuild the core I have or get an adaptor plate for a modern carb, or order a Chinesium repop… Got it.

I’d honestly rather run a 500cfm Holley 2bbl on the 4.3 anyway.

I'd be inclined to do the same. You'll still need an adapter, but it's a combo that should work well.
