Intake Questoin/Suggestions

I've got a 350 that i'm switching from EFI to Carb I was just wondering what intake is working good for you carb guys

I got a .465/.488 cam i'm going to put 1.6 rockers on it at some point in time...i have a 3.73 gear and a T-5 trans

If you need any other info just post back...oh and i got no carb so if you could give me a suggestion on a carb to that would be great...Thanks for the help

Edelbrock performer RPM, air gap if you have the extra $$

weiand stealth is pretty well liked too.

I like my Q-jet, non-cc., due to the fact I can get them from the JY for $20, and a rebuild kit for $40, and i'm set. Extremely tuneable, and you get to brag to people you have a q-jet (everyone has a holley, you're nothing special bragging about having a holley)

Ditto the RPM recommendations.

I considered the Stealth, liked the Air Gap concept (even if not quantified back-to-back with non-AG type), so went with it instead.

Oh, I don't believe the Air Gap is available in a spread bore configuration. So, if you go with that and a q-jet, you'll need an adapter.

I'm happy with the Performer RPM. If your not into your own carb rebuilds, an Edlebrock 1406 can be had at Pep Boys brand new for $290, and it (usually) runs straight out of the box - no adjustments (initially) or adapter needed as it is square bored like the Performer intake. Also keep an eye on the classifieds here - 1406's pop up all the time for cheap, as everyone wants to move up to a Holley.
