Aluminum intake install - 340
What’s the rest of the combination?
It's a std bore with stock 69 pistons and mildly reworked J heads. Comps Xtreme Energy cam and springs. I'm running the Torker 340 with a 650 Double pumper and the 73 factory manifolds. Direct Connection distributor with a Mancini black box. I had the factory radiator recored and added a third row. Clutch fan from a 78 RV.
Trans is an 18 spline Hemi A833 that Brewer rebuilt and converted to SBM and A body configuration. Backed by a Hayes clutch. The rear end is a Ford 9 inch with 3.50 Richmond gears and True Trac center section.
The combo should make for a fun cruiser and I am taking some liberties but also keeping my high school era of the early 80's in mind with several of the upgrades such as intake, distributor etc.
Thanks to everyone who replied with advice and I agree it's pretty much the same strategy as my SBC in my 86 Monte SS. On that setup I am more particular on intake choice as I run a 383 SBC, Turbo 400 automatic, 10" convertor and 9" Ford with 3.70's and it was not happy when I changed from the Dart Sportsman dual plane to a Victor Jr single plane. I could tell within 5 minutes of driving it that I had made a mistake and the et's at the 1/8th mile track where I was running confirmed it. Killed the torque for the street. I went back to the Dart intake and it has ran a best of 11.92 in the 1/4 at US131 in Martin, Mi. with that intake.
