Either the Edelbrock Performer RPM or INDY dual plane intakes and a BIGS Performance 950 cfm tuned to your engine specs by Jesse would be a great way to go. Once you get it you bolt it on with minor adjusting and your ready to run. For what your planning to do with the car and its weight being on the heavy side it would be best to go dual plane. If your going to gear it for track only and heads flow on the high side then go single plane.

I agree with the RPM or the Holley Street Dominator. The RPM is a very good street/strip intake. The Holley SD is a very good single Plane intake as it has good low end like a dual plane with good top end. I ran a SD on my old 440 and it worked very good. I now use the Indy dual plane which looks like the Performer RPM but with larger ports. Either the RPM or SD would work good as will the Indy dual plane intake. As for a carb I agree the 950 is a good carb. That said I use a standard Holley 850 DP which works good on my 63's 440/493. It would most likey go a bit faster with the 950 but this 850 works and drives great. Ron

after seeing some intakes for cheap on craigslist I had a brilliant idea. Get both and try them out.

As for Holley carbs, I saw 3 different 950 hp models. Whats the difference between them?

950 HP, 0-80496-1
950 Street HP, 0-82951
950 Ultra HP, 0-80805BK

I have the Performer RPM with a Holley 770 Ultra HP carb on the 505" stroked 440. The carb is a bit small, but I will be replacing the intake and carb soon with the Edelbrock Pro-Flow XT fuel injection system.
