A good Friend of mine asked me if I would check his LD 340 on my flow bench today and I myself was a little curious so I mounted a small block edelbrock to the bench and did a flow test on the head. We then bolted his some what grubby looking intake to the head. This was a used intake that was never touched with a grinder so it was not even gasket matched. Here are the flow numbers. head head with intake 100 60 62 200 137 130 300 200 187 400 251 224 450 256 239 500 267 247 550 273 249 600 275 254 650 276 255 700 276 255 I always knew that these were good intakes and after doing this test it backs up what we have seen at the track for years. He wants to see the results from Matt's Victor 340 intake and if they are close we will do some gasket matching and touch up work to the LD340. Here are a couple of pictures of his intake so you can see how much better it could be with some work.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27

LD340's are not at all a copy of a stock intake. Ive picked up over 1mph going fromm a ported stock TQ intake to a gasket matched LD340.
