Just out of curiousity can you tell me where you've gotten all those intake manifolds to fit the W2 heads or are they an econo look alike with the same bolt patterns?
???????????????????????????????????
The Edelbrock Air Gap dual plane will not bolt on to W-2 heads unless ports and bolt pattern are modified.

THe M1 is really one of the best single plane manifolds out there,second only to the eddie victor and not by much. I would not hesitate to use the M1 in place of an air gap in a stroker application. You wont lose much on the bottom end due to the extra stroke and the M1 will leave the air gap behind on the top.
Guess I'll chip in a question along the same line. I have a 408 stroker, 9.6:1 236/242@.050 .544 cam, hooker comps 1 5/8" into 3" exhaust, edel heads, 4000 dynamic 9.5" into 3.73 dana. Currently running a M1 single plane, Best time of 12.26 @ 109, 1.67 60' with slicks. Best time comes when shiftin at 5300!
I had been runnung a Edel (Carter) 600 on the street, and a Holley 750 on the strip. Carter gave better fuel economy, holley gave better time. The Carter had better low end torque. I recently switched to a DemonSizzler TQ, and where was a very noticeable improvement on bottom end torque, and it breathes much better than the Carter 600 on the top end. Idles better, off idles better, etc. Best carb yet, but not sure how it will do at the strip as compared to the holley.
I have a Weiand Stealth that still sits on my numbers matching 340 (in a crate) that has been port matched like my M1, but is otherwise stock. It will accept square or spread bore.
So the question is, since I am shifting below the upper end advantage of the M1, would it actually run better with the stealth?

Don't want to steal the thread,but since everyone is talking, just a quick question. I have an LD4B and would like to use it on a 340 with x heads. I'm going to run a thermoquad. Would I be better off to run an adapter or open up the intake so the TQ can bolt direct. I'm after low to mid range torque. Also, if I port match the intake to the heads, will it be the same as an LD340?
Thanks guys.

FWIW, I did a chassi dyno test last year at the Mopar So Classic, and torque peaked at 4400, and HP peaked at 5400.
