Kirk, I don't hate the T-340. You just asked about what was outdated. It was one of the most popular intake's for the hot street cars in my day. One of the reasons is that most ran 4+ gears back then. In hindsight, the LD340 dual plane was just as good as far as overall power output, and the modern dual plane intakes are even better. Since you already have the Torker, and if you want the old school single plane look, run it.....I would.
