Small block intake
Garrett, love the cam choice. No torque converter change needed!
@BLIMP I get the weight loss idea. You’ll never see a strip or mileage gain with it. If I was in your socks, I’d run the OE intake and carb with Garrett’s suggested cam if a swap is in the cards, recurve your distributor and upgrade the ignition box. The MP Chrome is my favorite stock like box but a good working MSD-6 will add mileage over the Chrysler box. Been there done that and I know it’s a mileage getter. But I also leave the Chrome box in the car Incase of a MSD failure. Just unplug and replug in.
The Performer is just as Justin (MP official) said. Should you go with a square bore carb, a 600/650 is just perfect for that cruiser. The Edelbrock AVS II, Holley VS, Street Demon, or even the Summit 4010 will work great. Just get the carb your comfortable working on.
The other intakes mentioned are certainly workable and do-able, just not what I would use myself in the land barge. A 1,000lbs. lighter car? Umm, yea, possibly If cheap enough.
The 1 draw back or the TQ is the lack of rods and jets which aren’t so easy to get a hold of and you’ll need to be up on carb tuning really well to avoid purchasing to many singular parts as kits don’t exist.
OH! And use a thick gasket under it! Not the 1/16 thick paper garbage gasket. Find a OE or like gasket to keep that carb cool.
