I have (3) R4B intakes that all have the AM4485729 part number on them.
One is a '69 and earlier straight out of AMTech. The other 2 are for the '70 and latter engines. I have seen the latter ones with a hand stamped "70" right below the R4B embossment.

Note the '70' on mine, and gee, it was on a 1970 engine!  LOL
Oops, since I flipped the photo, I guess you have to crank your neck 180 to see the 70, otherwise, look at it and search for the OL on the intake........

Man, I screwed up again?
Oh, I see - well, the intake said 70 before I flipped the photo, and now it says OL instead of 70......
If I flip the photo back it should once again say 70 unless only part of it flips.....

so this intake is for a 1970??? the only reason why am asking is because i brought a 390 motor and trans complete and the guy told me it had came out of a 1969 AMX. Again if my motor is a 70 or newer it will be better because i would like to put a 401 bottom end it..

well sc397 said he's seen that number on the 1969 manifolds as well...... hard to imagine since normally when there's a physical change, even as simple as bolt hole locations, they change numbers.
Look along the side that bolts to the head - are the middle two holes in a straight line with the other holes, or are the middle two holes "higher" or closer to the edge on each side?

that is why I asked him to post a picture of the bottom side.

People too often get the early and late manifolds confused.  I recently looked at another crossram that was supposed to be an early intake but the bolt holes looked raised to me so I asked the guy who had it to check with an intake gasket. Sure enough, it turned out to be a 70 and up intake and I already have one of those so unless it is a smoking deal, I just don't need two of them.
