Ede. Torker II single plane

I have a Torker II 340. The bad rap this intake gets is mainly due to the (Then new) RPM intake handing out more torque down low. Edelbrocks only other offering back in the day was the Performer. This is a problem when you want to step up the program of power. Your only other choice Edelbrock had for you was the TorkerII or the Victor.

Other intakes like the LD-340 were discontinued and left to swap meets. Weiand makes the Action plus which is very good.

The best way to use a Torker II 340 is as a on the cheap light drag unit. The RPM makes more Torque below 300-ish RPM, so use a set up that makes power and uses a stall converter to skip the RPM's below 3000 and a high gear ratio.

Also note that this intake has skinny ports. The idea behind that is to get this intake to be workable on the street while maintaing a reasonable torque and RPM abilties. You can port match the intake to the head all the way up the runners. This will add some up top power at the expense of low RPM torque in most cases. But then again, if your doing that, your really not caring about power down low. You can massage this intake to go to 7000 RPM.

An example of where this intake could be of use would be on top of a preety stout short block and a little BIG cam at min. BIG carb and 1-3/4 header tubes. 4.30+ gears.

If your cam is under 250* @ 050 and your on the street, go dual plane for better drivabilty.
