I already have the intake and carb they came off another motor. I'm not really too worried about fuel mileage I don't drive my cars much except for an occasional weekend cruise. I'm just trying to build a car that looks good and sounds healthy ( but it doesn't need to back it up). although the market is getting better on these 73 -74 Roadrunners I have about 7K in bodywork, paint, interior, trans, rearend and misc parts in a car that might be worth 10k on a good day. I already have a couple cars with too much motor for the street and I want this car to just be a mello cruiser that's fun to drive
Since you will save money by not rebuilding BUY ANOTHER INTAKE , the engine is a low compression pig to begin with so the cam choice to work with that low compression is going to make the engine seem like a bigger turd with that intake. A low rise dual plane intake will be your best choice , CH4B or a performer. Also cut the heads as suggested and use the steel shim head gasket.

You don't have to put a ton of $$$ in those 915's to make them work. You will be MUCHO happier with them over the 452's in any type of HP project.
Maybe he got slapped for this post? I'd like to see how much you'd have to put in to them. You've stated that performance is 2nd to drivability, so go with the heads in best condition. You can go 13s easy with those. 915s might pick you up a couple of tenths.
