    had one on my 63 nova.....worked fine with the 280 comp magnum cam and a flat top 355.....did you get the divider plate....? they are made to be able to switch to a dual plane if needed......though mine never had it.....probably worth running......brandon

    no divider but I can run a four hole spacer. I'm having to use stock head for the inital build (ported 1.94 327 heads) but will go with some after market 2.02's someday:confused:
     
  4. same as the old design Edelbrock Torker.

    I ran one on a 351C and liked it... I had the plenum divider and it made it a little nicer on the street and made the throttle a bit snappier. Probably knocked the powerband down about 500-1000 RPM. You could actually make a spacer for it fairly easily, if memory serves the damn thing is like 70 bucks or something. It'll still be a single plane manifold, the "plane" is reference to the elevation of the plenum floor; a dual plane has 1 side higher than the other, you'll just be dividing the plenum in half. It's similar to the Edelbrock Torker, but at least in the 351C world they're quite a bit different.

    I ran a Lunati Bracket Master, a 3310 Holley, on a 9.5:1 motor with headers, 11" converter/shift kit, and 3.89 gear. It was a real nice combo that made some awesome midrange power.

    My car should be around 2700#, my cousin had it on his stock 327 (was on it when he bought it), not much more that a stock cam, this should make a nice combo. I'd like to rebuild my shortblock and then upgrade the heaads to Dsrt S/R torquer ata later date.
