Just wondering how this manifold stacks up against the OEM 1971 cast intake and the LD 340 intake. I would be running a factory TQ ON A 1971 340 with about 9.3 : 1 SCR. Cam is a Comp XE 262 with a 727 (2500 stall), and sure grip 3.23's in a 1971 Demon. I would gasket match the intake ports, but that would be it for mods. I like the LD, but I don't want to modify it for the TQ. What say Ye? Thanks FABO
Going against the grain here. Dont think there would be a hill of beans difference between any of them for a a street car with that cam and stock heads that have not been worked. I would run the one I already had before buying something different.
Different story if you have money spent on buying a set of heads or porting the ones you have.
Performer intake in terms of port size is a tweener designed to split the difference in Between the 318 and 360 port size. I wouldn't waste time trying to gasket match it to the heads for a basic street engine build.
