318 Engine Build help

Your build sounds good so far! I'm collecting parts for a 408 and and I was going to use the EQ Monster Magnums (2.02 intakes with .600 springs)from Clearwater Cylinder Heads. They were $975 shipped but the ones for the LA intake were out of stock and they really couldn't give a specific date when they'd have them ( about a month they said). Went with Edelbrock RPM's. Did you see the June 2009 Mopar Action Magnum Head shootout? Basically, stock Magnums flowed 199 intake/145 exhaust, the EQ's flowed over 240/176 with stock valves and 254/176 with 2.02's. I'd definately use the EQ's with all those other parts you have.
