I've been tossing around the idea of sliding a Performer RPM intake on the Imperial. I found a cheap intake locally.

The car is my 72 Imperial with a stock 440. I will be adding my Edelbrock heads and a 261* .463" cam with a 114 LSA. It is topped with a 600 cfm AFB on a stock intake.

I want torque between 1500 and 2500 rpm and don't care about power above 4500 rpm.

The engine has the stock air cleaner on it. I'm not sure if it would clear the hood or if I would need a drop base air cleaner.

It would seem a bit out of place to drop a stock iron intake on top of a set of iron heads.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
