6. Edelbrock Torker (original)
Another popular intake was the old Edelbrock Torker single-plane. The Torker features relatively straight, comparatively small cross-section runners. Although out of production for many years, this intake was sold in such numbers they’re still plentiful. Frankly, I’d never been a fan of these intakes, even though I’d run a number of them in various 440-equipped Mopars. For me, the Torker results were a shocker, and something of an enigma. The Torker ripped an unreal 608.4 lb-ft, the highest peak torque of the test. The high torque was startling. Peak horsepower came in at 605, but the manifold peaked this .670-inch lift, roller-cammed, 2.25-inch-valved, max-ported 440 at an unbelievably low 5,500 rpm. I guess that’s why they called it the Torker.
