Main reason people switch to the edelbrock performer over the T or S is weight , stock FE Iron intake is 70lbs+
that weight makes it a real pain to install correctly

For instance you will find that any investment in a carb might as well be a 4bbl and if you need a 4bbl you need a manifold. Why spend 400 bucks or whatever on a new 2bbl when 600 will get you a 4bbl and manifold for example.

Also you mention "dual exhaust" you'll learn that this is a bad idea in and of itself. And that if doing any exhaust work that extensive you might as well install headers.
That is what I am currently doing is planning and researching thus the questions. I still would like to put headers on the truck, but through research, been pointed out that not going to do much without doing internal things to engine. Will know more as I research what exactly it is I am going to do.

I just set the manifold close to home with the engine lift and put in a couple of studs cross wise. Then when you lower it, it's dead on.
