Disassembled the Imperial 440, good thing. Middle cam bearing scratched (dirty assemble) and one rod bearing showing wear (more dirty assembly). Some "Sister Sludge" in pan and plugged pickup so it would not have lasted long as it sat for decades. BUT the good news is it is 30 overbore and cylinders crosshatched and true and the crank/rods are 10 under and look great. Someone had rebuilt it back in the day. We will check everything, line bore, resize, touch hone yata yata. Back to the thread.
The iron intake for a Holley bolt pattern is dual plane IE one side of motor runners are higher than other. Seems I read somewhere that is an EFI NO-NO. If so, do you have a part number for the correct EFI 440 intake. Thanks

A Holley Sniper will work just fine on a dual plane intake. If you have room for an open spacer it will work even better but if you don't have room you should still be fine. If you have room in the budget for a new intake then the Holley Dominator intake should work just fine. It is a low profile intake so it should fit under the hood. The Holley intake will also save you a bunch of weight off the nose of the car which always helps.
