Over the years I have had most small block intakes at one time or another, and used them. For a build like you are talking, the Edelbrock air gap dual plane is flat hard to beat. If he insists on a single plane, I have had excellent results with the weiand excellerator. From builds like being discussed, to my current car/ motor that has an excellerator on it.( soon to be replaced by new heads and ported Victor. I don’t like the Mopar M1 single plane on the build you are talking about, or a Victor either. 1a. Eddie air gap. 1b.. Weiand excellerator. Looking around he should be able to find an excellerator. Paid 125 for mine couple or 3 years ago, it’s sold to the guy buying my Eddie heads. It’s a nice “street, street/strip” single plane.

I just put an excelerator on a 360, I like it also but they usually need a heck of a port match. Just a heads up. Agree on the Weiand if it has to be a single plane. Another that works ok is the Torker II. The older torker 340 is a doorstop IMO. As mentioned by everyone, the Air Gap would be superior to all of them.

I agree with all that has been stated so far. Personally, I used to run a Perfomer RPM intake (older style, so non-air gap) in my coupe. I tried the Holley Strip Dominator next (same engine combo) and felt the bottom end get weaker, not significant enough to feel like a missmatch, but it was there. Cam was a Hughes HE3844 hydraulic flat tappet, so 238/244 @0.050" on 108LSA. 727 trans, with 2800 stall coverter and 3.91 gears. I then went back to the Performer RPM piece as it was by far a better fitting intake for the street manners which mattered to me. Having said that, I do have a Torker II brand-spankin'-new still in the box. If your customer is adamant about wanting a single plane let me know. I will not use it as I'm going to a W2 build now. Here are a couple of pics of several of these intakes in a row just to give you a feel for how their design differs: These are (starting closest to you - the viewer): 1) Strip Dominator 2) Torker II 3) Performer RPM 4) LD340 ...here they are front the front:

I am going with a Weiand Excellerator on my 340 and this is what it will take to gasket match it. But I can’t wait to run it 👍

And only 1 mention of the Holley Strip Dominator, I ran that back in the day on my '71 340 Cuda, first with a 484/284 hyd., and then with a .590" SFT, awesome intake, good bottom end and pulled hard to 6k+, ran a 750DP and then an 850DP which picked up almost 2 10ths, likes more plenum and you can find one with a square holley pattern like mine was, would work well with the 4spd, I ran a 3500 and then a 4200stall with 3.55's and then 4.30's.

I bought a used Strip Dominator back in the early eighties. It replaced the stock cast iron intake I was using. That was the year they had changed the pro bracket to 11.00-11.99. I was barely running high 11.90's and looking for something to help. I put the Strip Dominator on one Saturday night before a Sunday race. I thought it sounded terrible in the garage. No snap like the stock intake, but it was on there and I wasn't changing it back now. Next day I was thrilled when it went 11.60's right out of the box.
