Intake Manifold Options 340

I didn't want my motor to be a crazy build. Nor did I want the need to twist it at 7k. This engine has spun a couple rod bearings in its life. So I rather keep it around 6k. Eventually I will install some Eddie heads. In the mean time I was looking for 400 hp on the crank.

This has been a father/daughter rebuild so it has been a lot of fun. The car has not been on the road since 1989 when I drove it in high school. So there is a lot of work to do.

It always amazes me how people will spend a **** ton of money to rebuild an engine with speed parts, only to cheap out at the end just to save money. Yes, to me the extra expense of the proper part, or intake "IS" worth the money.

How do most say it ? Horsepower ain't cheap.

And once again the original poster states the build purposes and perimeters yet to be ignored again and scoffed at. Johnny Dart, sorry "WE" all don't have YOUR money to mimic the handling of problems like the goverment does. The goverment says, "OH! Is this a roblem? Just just throw bags of money at it!"
IS he cheaping out or just ready to use what he has on hand?
While more power is allways great, the extra money involved may be tight. And for how much more power?
I would also allways like to use the best parts possible. But possible isn't always an available item. Perhaps you can throw some money at 340swinger4spd to help the Father/Daughter project along since spending isn't an issue with you. LMAO! ;)
