Quote: Would an Edelbrock Performer intake work well with this combination?
Yes, Probably a better manifold. Performers are higher rise and have slightly higher torque points. the performer is 4"+'s tall the weiand is like 3 1/2.
I would change the old springs, and seals on the old stock head.
Thanks. That makes me happy, because a performer is what I've got
Seals will be replaced as part of the entire gasket kit I'll be purchasing from summit/440source. Haven't decided on that one yet.
