Have not decided on the cam yet. auto with 373 going into a ebody. cnc ported rpm heads Last edited by Chucklehead; 02/21/15 01:29 AM. Still Broke

I have one on my 451, and although Its the only manifold I've tried I'm pretty happy with the crisp throttle response and it pulls to 6500 and above.

The cross over point in torque is about 5,000 rpm for a switch from the RPM to a good single plane, so unless you are going to use a very high stall converter and a fairly large cam, then the RPM. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

On a 440 RB I'd take the RPM though since a 440" motor will take a few 100 RPM more to hit the sweet spot all else being equal. Pick the right heads and cam though and you really would be happy with any of them. 4 speed I would prefer a single plane either way so a SD again. The TM-6/TM-7 is a great manifold up top (unported it's better then the SD OOTB) but will typically be a little down on torque to an SD below 3500-4000 on a typical street range compression type motor. I'm not down on the RPM it's about the best OOTB (can't miss) manifold out there, it's just the 470 tend to be a bit torquier and rev happier (lower bobweight) , the other drawback to the RPM is that it's TALL and usually limits you to using a drop base 3" high air cleaner on a flat hood B/E body.

Andy, I own a few of your books and hesitate to question anything you reccomend, but a 750 cfm carb on a 470 cube mill with aftermarket heads? Seems pretty conservative. Especially with the M1 single plane intake; it would seem that in order to make the single plane pay off, we would clearly need to take advantage of some upper end HP? Won't 470 cubes outrun the 750 by the time the M1 gets into its wheelhouse??? Mathmatically, at 85% V.E., a 470 needs 750cfm at 6500. This seems to perhaps support your choice, but I'd hate to limit the motor at the entry point like that, knowing that an 850 will run great and give you more ability to breath and make HP up top.

If the car spends all of its time on the street then I'd use a Performer RPM with a 800 cfm Edelbrock carb. I ran that setup on my low deck 470 and made enough power to run mid-11's in my '65 Coronet. (with HP manifolds) Last edited by AndyF; 02/21/15 05:24 PM.

I have no complaints at all as it seems to work very nice for me but I have not tried any other intake to compare it to. But the driveability is really great at any rpm in any gear so I will say I am happy with it on my street/strip car. I would like to try a good single plane one day just to see how it does compared to this Indy dual plane. Ron

I know you brought it once but it didn't hook with your suspension and tires. Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street
