1Bad454 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hello gentlemen, What intakes are you all running under the stock hood? Pics would be nice. Thank you, Ronnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hey Ronnie. Small block or big block? Intended use of the car? On my 496 in my 70 SS I use an Edelbrock rpm air gap intake. Works great on the street and extremely well at the track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overdrive Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 What carburetor will you be using? You'll need a square bore or a spread bore intake. I'm using a Quadrajet, and I have an Edelbrock Performer. Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to do a Quadrajet since that's what came on the cars back then. I want a good street/mild strip performance. What would you recommend?

MC1of80 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hey Ronnie, Thanks. I wanted a low maintenance finish and a stock look. All but the trained eye will notice the modifications. The cam is an old school solid flat tappet Howards cam. 252/260@.050 618/640 on a 108 center line. 3000-6800 range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdrive Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 A good rebuild on a correct era Quadrajet is what I like, but I don't race. That's the only reason I didn't get the RPM intake. I have a little fun with my roller cam and 461" big block. Dan 20200102_151039.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
