if this is purely a street car, I'd probably lean to the 670/650. If you intend to go to the track once in a while, then probably the 750/770 is more in your range.

Neither. The SA line is a cruel joke on the unsuspecting and unknowing.

Go with a 750 Holley double pumper. If track only, get the HP version. Otherwise, a standard universal 4150 will be fine.

And dump that Torker intake. Another cruel joke. An RPM Air Gap will leave it in the dust. If you want single plane, go for the Victor Jr.

What are you screwing around with vacuum secondaries for if it's going to see a lot of track time? Get with the program and go with a 750 double pumper

ok.. so i got a regular 4150 DP, but i need a intake now, Victor jr is going to be to big of a manifold for this engine, any suggestions BTW needs to be a tall port manifold

Not sure what you mean by "tall port". The Torker isn't anything special. What heads are those, exactly? Edelbrock RPM? Etec?

tall port?? you only have 190cc intake runners.. if you need a tall port manifold, port a vic jr to match.. just get the cheapest one and port that guy.. the cheap one has relatively small ports from edelbrock.. i took out a good 1/16th inch all the way around and still didnt match up to a 1205 gasket.. and i use a 1206 gasket.. thats a tall port..

the heads are described as having a raised port design and that most regular manifolds won work(if that makes any sense??????)

Edelbrock RPM air gap if it'll work.

Like these, right?

Use a Vortec intake. "Raised" port is more like it.
