Edelbrock Torque lower intake
I got a good deal on an older Edelbrock Torquer lower intake and will be adding an Edelbrock 650 carb on top of it to my 460 motor in my 77 F250. What kind of gains do you think I will see, the motor is otherwise stock, I know the Edelbrock lower intake is quite a bit lighter but other then the weight savings will there be any HP improvement?
I didn't get the parts to gain HP really, but rather my stock Holley carb is leaking and I found the lower intake for cheap so I figured why not. The Edelbrock carb I will be borrowing till I get a new one.

I'm not familar with that term a Torker lower intake, the Torker manifold is a single plane, and works in the 2500-6000 RPM range, you give up low-end torque. On a basic stock 460 I would and did go with a dual plane. I have an 86 F250 4x4 460 C-6 with an Edelbrock Performer with a 4160 Holley 600 CFM the rest is stock but desmogged. and the change for me made a better tower out of it. One day I hope to add Edelbrock heads, and a truck cam.

haha Canadian Spelling I guess, yeah its a single plain Torker manifold. I am getting it cheap so figure its gotta be better then my stock manifold. Its temporary till I can get a better one but for hte price its better then nothing.
