460 intake suggestions
Started to look at the motor and found it has a edelbrock streetmaster manifold. In research I found this is an older edelbrock designed for emission motors. I think I want to change this to either an edelbrock performer or weiand stealth. In lots more research reviews on both manifolds are all over the board. With about $100.00 or more difference I was leaning on a stealth, any thoughts? Mainly street driving, not for a racing rig.

Studies have shown that the OEM manifold is better than the aftermarket ones. It's a dual plane with large runners and it doesn't jack the carb 6" into the air.
I run the stock one in my truck and it breathes fine.

The Stealth is a lot of intake for a stockish motor, large runners and internal volume. An Edelbrock performer is a great upgrage for a basic 460.

For a daily. I'd go with the Performer, no need for the RPM or air-gap series unless you're going to invest in other upgrades to the engine besides a good flowing exhaust. For carb sizing, there are plenty of calculators online to help with that, less is more in that respect.

Well if you can find one I have always ran stock d0oe,that's the scj intake heavy but makes great torque! As long as you don't port match them they work great. You have to run these gaskets with them. If you do port match you will get lot's of top end no bottom end ,A mistake I won't make again
