Once you get the carbs sorted out you'll wonder why everyone doesn't run one. I'll never go back to a regular manifold again.
Oh, but I couldn't agree more.
My wife's daily driver for years was a tunnel rammed 440 Cordoba LS. Work, groceries, you name it.
I worked in construction and for years had a 440 tunnel rammed work truck, everybody thought I was fibbin until I popped the hood, or floored the gas pedal....
My work truck had a 268 Comp Cam and a STOCK stall converter, it had more bottom end balls than could be believed, it would ROAST the back tires while towing a 1937 Plymouth on a car trailer, I know from experience.
I've had a ton of tunnel rammed 440 vehicles, never had a problem with them and I would truly be hesitant to run a single four barrel on a 400 again.
My Coupe was a 440 tunnel ram when I had it on the road, I drove it all over all the time, it was my only insured vehicle.
Lots of hood clearance too.
