Oh BOY! This is just too easy a question to answer. And the answer is....
NO! The 300 intake will NOT fit the P76 without adapter plates. It is
actually narrower than the P76 intake. The P76 is very close in deck height
to the Buick 340, but those 4bbl intakes are cast iron and weigh in around
60 pounds.

I don't know how wide a P76 intake is but I do have a couple
of the aluminum Buick 300 intakes. I'll measure one of them
tonight.
Do you know the deck height of the P76?
