BOTH Edelbrock intakes..... models being Streetmaster and the SP2P.
FWIW, Back in the early eighties, I had a SP2P manifold on a '73 440 that I had in a '67 D100 truck. It had a stock cam with exhaust manifolds. It had lots of low end torque for towing and I was pretty happy with the manifold.
Gas mileage wasn't too much of a concern to me at the time, so I can't comment one way or the other.

Both are GOOD manifolds ...... but the SP2P runs out-of-steam at 4500 or so.
I have run the SM myself .... since it was only one available to me at the time I put it on my 413. Then I put a TQ on it .... and will be tweaking the primary circuit for mpg.
When the new motor is done ....I will probably go with the SP2P ... better fuel/air atomization - IMO.

Here comes the "Chuck Wagon"
We used as much as we could from the old unit. We added 18” to the end of it to lengthen it because we wanted a perment bed in the back. The original had a dinning area in the back that broke down into a bed.
We used metal box beams and bolted them to the bed of the dodge and extended the length that way. Put in lots of insulation on the floor, walls and ceiling. Built the walls with 2x2’s and plywood. The bloody thing could stand up on it’s roof it‘s that strong. Added a generator and roof air condioner as the original one did not have one.
Now we need to replace the carpet in the cab, but don’t know where to go for that. We had to stop work on it because we were taking care of my mother-in-law. She pass away last year so we are back working on it. Has been quite a job.
