Now I need your op on intakes and more.
I have scored three different TQ's, two untouched in good condition and one that I supposed to be gone through and modified for a hot Chevy 327 but never used. Both dusty and dirty from sitting on a shelf in a garage for years. I hope I can put at least one good together.
What would the best intake be for idle to, lets say, 3,500 rpm?

I will have a custom cam made with steep lobes, pretty high lift, short duration and an intake that closes early to build pressure. I'm interested in your op in this area as well.

As said before I will adjust static compression by milling heads or/and head gaskets choice so I get as high dynamic compression as I think it can handle with the cam.

I now have the numbers on the heads, they are 3418915 so they can be the originals to this engine (1971 360") if I understand correctly. Then the valves are 1.88/1.60 which should be good for a torque build.

Since the engine will produce all its power down low some bad flowing cast exhaust manifolds even could help the engine by building back pressure? Teach me!
