Sorry to hi-jack, but I have a set of the 974’s. What would you suggest as a good intake manifold and carb combo for them? It’s a mild 360. Uncertain to cam. Currently has a 318/360 Edlebrock and Carter 625. I’m thinking about building another engine and I wanted to upgrade my current setup while building the new engine and would like to get a combo I can use now and then use down the road for the bed build. Thank your for any help!

Cam choice and then gearing would be needed to help in that decision.
See ..you could end up choosing a cam that would require a single plane and/or you could end up with a requirement for deeper gears ...and say you don't have those deeper gears 3.91-4.57 in there ?
You would want to go with a dual-plane 'LD340,RPM, and not a manifold better suited for that big cam 'Victor/SP ..because you will need some now make up for some missing torque to get moving quicker.

Most cams stock to 240's dur @.050 will like a dual plane. Even more can work but you'll be limiting the availability of the cams upper rpm power. What are you doing for gears and will you be using headers?
That alone can aid in choice.
