The Performer 302 would also require the non-EGR spacer plate (#8714). The Performer 289 would not. The Perf. 302 has a water crossover at it's rear with two extra tapped holes. I don't believe the Perf. 289 has a rear water crossover, and if it does, I know it doesn't have any tapped holes in it. I would just get an RPM manifold. The combined height of the perf. 302 and the spacer plate are almost as high as the RPM, but with one more gasket to leak. The 289 intake would work too. My recommedations would be:
1) Performer RPM
2) Performer 289
3) Performer 302 & spacer

Take care,
-Chris
