I'm not worried about weight Studebaker engines are the heaviest in the car manufacturing world a dressed small block Studebaker 289 tips the scale at 685 lbs, 75lbs heavier than a BBC or even a BB Mopar!
I have stayed away from Mopar as I have been led to believe they cost twice the price to build over a chebby, not sure if this holds true. I am about to find out.
I have a 440 Torker intake is this a decent intake? or should I sell it and go with a Performer or a Performer RPM, how about the purple can that I've heard and read about on different forums or does it need more compression to work right?
