what intake???
Hey,
I have been looking at intakes and there are not a lot to choose from. Here is what I have. A 429 stroked to 557, comp cam #34-343-4 640 lift 306/260 dur. compression est. 11.5 I have a holly 850 carb but can change this. I have a 3000-3500 stall converter. This is going to be a mostly street driven engine. What intake will be best?? single plane?? HELP!!! Also running the 68 429 cast iron heads with work done to them.
Thanks

for a mostly street driven, the stealth would be better. with a 1 in. spacer, this intake will pull to 7500 rpm, and with a dominator and adapter, it will pull past 8000( have seen it with my own eyes)/ the stealth scj intake actually peforms better than weiand admits to

The Air-Gap RPM performer is now out so that is another possiblity. With you combo though I think the Victor is the only way to go.

What kind of rig is this going into? I hope it's a truck cause I am fixin to do up a 545 for my van with lower compression for towing. I dieing to see some comments on the power and durability of the 4.5" stroke combo's. If this is going into a car Ford has a pretty nifty looking single plane that should work well. For the street I too would look to the Stealth and tune it with spacers to optimise it for your application.
