Considering putting my 454+.030 2465 slugged 049 headed engine back in my car for street strip use.
What would be the best iron intake for this.
I have 2 nice qjets to play with. One a 73 Buick 800 cfm and a 750 Chevrolet.
Engine went 1150s w a complete 282S.
T400 410 gears in my 70 SS396.
W 2455 headers. 3”exhaust h piped to rear of car.
Motor has a performer rpm no air gap and Holley 850 annular vintage carb.
Thinking of making it look stock . And hopefully run same et w qjet and maybe a cam upgrade.
Thanks Chris
Car currently has a 555 running 9.50s
But want to return to street duty.

[1970 GMuscle]

Just thinking of experimenting.
I found a guy w a 1969 high rise iron qjet intake.

If you’re wlanting to stay iron, any of the non corvette or truck intakes should be ok. Block the exhaust prts under the carb with pipe plugs

The Holley GM cast iron intakes worked real well.

The 282S cam works very well as does the 294S with some compression. I ran 11.20's last fall with the 282S cam. As for a Iron Q-jet intake they work great, ask Vortecpro. I think if you re-work the plenum area it can really work super as the GM BBC cast intakes had a good runner design. I used many of them back in the 70's with a Holley 800 spread bore carb. I think Mark just made like 530 some hp with a stock one recently.

[oldguy67]

way back when.weren't the first C-396 Edelbrocks more or less a copy of the iron intakes?

 

[sz0k30]

I just have to ask why?

 

[70SSTHUMPER]

3955287 was the LS5 intake, are you wanting to stay stock? This was on the hyd. lifter 360 hp engine. I don't think you would get pinched much with that solid lifter cam.

Iron w/Brzezinski mods vs Eddy 2-o pic's.

No. Long Island, New York.
Heck I tossed a C396 out that was on my car when I bought it 30 years ago.
Was a real day 2 car. Just only 2 pics. I immediately made it how I wanted it right away.
