Good intake for otherwise stock 400?

[LXguy]

Hey All:

Looking to convert a 400 to 4 bbl. I'm sure a stock 4bbl intake would do the trick, but I think I'd rather lift aluminum. Far as I know, motor is stock other than exhaust. Not looking to do any other mods at this time.

Any other gotchas converting to 4bbl?

Thanks!

Steve

I did it on my 400 in my Magnum. It is a low comp 1978 mill.

I found a holley Street Dominator and reused the large primary T-Q and a open air cleaner. Being a whoooping 200 ish HP mill, it barley made a difference.

Headers are on the car as well with a 2-1/2 exhaust, H piped to the bumper.

Wow. I'll have to figure out what year this engine is before I do it.

Though, the 2bbl on there is pretty sad and I'd rather do the intake swap than spend money and energy on the stock 2bbl.

I have a very nice edelbrock Performer that it looks like I will not be using now. I will sell it to you very reasonably. Here is a link to my Ebay feedback so you will know who you're dealing with.

I have also done business with people here and have a 100% feedback rating here as well. Just shoot me a PM if you're interested.

My son's 383 is running an old Edelbrock dual plane high rise intake with a 750 Edelbrock carb. It works rather nicely, but the motor has a bit more compression than you likely have in your 400 and certainly more cam.
