71 4dr Dart 318 w 4bbl

TQ will run great on a stock motor, trouble with them is they are not tuneable in any manner close to a Holley or AFB. Thats why most if not all builders ditch them. You can tune them but its a learning curve using Modded Edelbrock rods and epoxy....360 4bbl intake is not a bad item, it just weighs 55 lbs compared to the 18 of a Aluminum intake...

One of the early TQ will not need much tuning if any. It would be perfect for what he wants to do. Most TQ especially the 340 and 360HP ones are perfect bolt ons with the manifold he has. I have run them from a 273 Commando to a HP 383. Just rebuild it right and adjust the air valve for just no bog. I'm still running 40 year old TQ's on two A Bodies. There are some good ones in the "for sale" section.
