Single plane on a street car??

Rainy Day Auto said

I have a Holley street Dominator intake manifold that is a single plane (not sure if they all are)

I am not really familiar with aftermarket intakes as I have only run factory parts.

Is this a good manifold to use a street driven car?? The combo is a 340/4speed. the 340 is a 73 and mostly stock and is a good running original out of a 73 roadrunner.

The car it is going in is a 71 scamp

I've run that intake and its decent. Ran good at the track and autocross. Idle to off idle was OK for street. As good as stock with a stock cam? That I can't say. For hood clearance its great. I ran it with a 4 hole 1/2 phelonic spacer. I'd suggest an insulating spacer like that. Might also want a valley oil spash pan to keep the hot oil off the bottom. For the throttle cable, a low rise bracket is needed. I think I took mine from a 2 bbl in a wrecking yard.
I wouldn't worry too much about the smaller port disparity. It has advantages - I should have left mine that way for what I was doing. Mine was port matched. Do this carefully if you do it as head port to bolt placements vary from head to head.
