An alternative to headers would be 340 exhaust manifolds or 92 - 93 magnum manifolds. RRR might be available to build you a drop on TQ...
Off hand have the part number for the thermoquad carb I should look for? See a variety for sale...
You can't seriously be considering using a theroquad carb! That carb was made to comply with emission standards introduced in the 1970s. It was designed to run at over 200 deg f at its center body and have the fuel bowl part much cooler so the gas would't boil. In order to run this carb it will have to be modified by someone that knows what their doing. Why? Get an Edelbrock 650 spread bore, you'll be much happier.
And by the way, rule of thumb, never put a used cam from another engine in anything. They will usualy self destruct in a short time. New lifters won't help. Used cams have only scrap value, even if they look perfict.
Thermoquad is harder to tune, however, Magiver, you are dead wrong about the performance. I seen in person a cast head, factory cast intake with a TQ on a 340 in an all steel Demon go high 10's. I've personally run the TQ and they perform. No, I never bought a performance kit, worked with it just as it was. However, lots more available and easier tuning with a Holley, or such. Also, I installed a stock 340 cam from an old '73 340 in a 318. That cam is still in the car today, and the car runs fine, and that was 16 years ago.You can't seriously be considering using a theroquad carb!

Magiver-
If not the thermo... Toss me some ideas on my HP 360 intake. Or even w replacing the intake too.
Thanks!
Btw I just got car and going through what's here. First mopar... First engine build
As above... Got the HP 360 manifold and a Carter Chevy 4bbl on an adapter. I believe all else to be stock....
And whats a facination with the rhoads lifters? They are made to crutch a serious camshaft to street manners. Yuo dont need them..
It is my primary mode of transport. 20 mi to work and back.
With occasional passenger "check this out" and occasional deserted road "leg stretching"
It will be an in town car. I'd like the ability to pass at will on freeway to make an exit... And drive 20 mi of surface streets without dying.

So I ask the question why would a guy want to take the time to find a TQ, in good condition? It has been 30 years since the Thermoquad was manufactured.
Strip kit?
MSD electronic ignition on list!
Thanks for the TQ reading!
What Lunati voodoo cam/kit should i go with? Want the most bang, but car is a daily driver.
