My son's 327 is alsmost ready for assembly. We have two intakes to try, a weiand stealth and a torker 2. Which intake would you guy's run?

Here's the engine specs:
1966 327 +.030
speed pro 2valve relief flattops
Eagle H beam rods
factory forged crank cut .010
462 heads with 61cc chambers 169cc intake runners
comp XE268S solid lifter cam
melling HV oil pump
Holley 650 double pumper
1.75 inch primary tube headers

70 Nova SS, 4 speed, 3.70 or 4.10 gears

Use the weiand stealth-hands down

Like Chris said, go with the dual plane. The only time I would even think about using the Torker II is if you had ZERO hood clearance.

Do you have either one of these intakes? If you have not purchased anything yet you might think about the Performer RPM. My brother recently switched from a Stealth to an Performer RPM on a 383 small block and he seems to think that the RPM had a little better low speed throttle response. (No track times just seat-o-the-pants.)

I can definately see why the rpm would have better low end, the stealth has a very large pleneum sp? maybe I should just sell both of these and go with the rpm. My son has been working to pay off the cost of this project so his budget is kinda thin. Anybody have a used rpm out there? Bob

If you already have the Stealth, I would use it especially if you're on a tight budget.

My brother switched because he went to a Q-jet carb/Q-jet Performer RPM manifold in place of the Edelbrock carb/Stealth manifold.

This might sound silly but, imho, you don't need much over an E-brock Performer or the Weiand 8004 intake with a good Holley 1850, 600cfm vacuum secondary carb.!!!

Remember we ARE NOT talking about a 355" or 360" motor here but rather a 333" motor!!!

You are probably very close to 10.0 to 1 CR., (maybe even 10.25), using the .040" composite. headgaskets so should be very close CR-wise for pump gas use!!!!

And ditch the 1.75" headers for a set of 1.625" one's b/c you will lose too much midrange torque, again imho...

AND I bet the cam you have picked runs great up top too!!! And to help your close CR., you may want to install that cam at 110/110 or what they call straight up so that it is retarded a schosh vs the 110/106 thing...
