which intake to what motor should I use? - 01/10/09 12:57 AM
alright, I have 2 intakes and 2 small block motors being built. the intakes are edelbrock LD340 and edelbrock performer RPM. motor #1 is a warmed up 318. 302 heads, mild cam, headers, ect. motor #2 is going to be a stock appearing (FAST) 416. as of now, the 416 is going to have worked over J heads and a streetable cam. which intake would be better for each motor? any ideas? not sure if I needed to give more info. thanks in advance!

The performer is pretty much a slightly warmed over stock intake but in aluminum. & also I would check your port matchup as in some intakes have smaller 318 sized ports & others larger 340/360 ports.

correct me if Im wrong, but arn't the LD340 intake pretty close to the stock 340 intakes? I thought I heard that somewhere. btw, im 99% sure both intakes have the larger ports. thanks!

I am not a small block guy but from what I have read they are both good intakes.I don't think either one will perform badly in either application.
The ld340 will look more stock for the FAST MOTOR.
Aside from that I can't say.

Neither are FAST legal. If you mean max performance and kinda stock looking, put the LD340 on the 416

alright, I guess I shoulda knew that. I though maybe there were some aluminum intakes that were acceptable. thanks!
