SB Stroker Intake Choices
You think the M1 is a little less aggressive for a street/milder motor with the curved runners?
You visited the thread pages that shows its flow numbers, where the M1 behind the Victor intake. Stock and ported for both. The intakes are old, the M1 being older. The M1 & the Victor was designed for a stock port found on the OEM cylinder head. For matching purposes, the M1 bolted to OEM heads is a perfect match with the intake & heads ported being an excellent combination.
As noted by the flow numbers from the porting work on the intake, the intake will handle a pretty well ported head. IMO, not a Max ported head. Though, however, the intake porting can be pushed further, which was not the goal of the work done.
The bottom line for an engine and the intake it needs pertaining to your combination is IMO, the Victor & the M1 are a hair small and could use more plenum, like a spacer and possibly not be enough for “Maximum Return.”
Ether would work but how well vs optimal….
The M1 can and would work very well in the street with a proper combo stem to stern. It’s been done for decades. I personally don’t remember seeing it on a big 422 small block. Which is 82 cubic inches larger than the 340 engine it was designed for.
