Re: Low Budget/Experience Build?
I plan on building the motor in the future, but that could be in 2 years + if this motor stays running good. The mild motor is going in my mud/play truck that doesn't see 1,000 miles a year.
I just don't want to risk the motor running like cr*p by putting the wrong intake now (even though it's what I want latter).
I don't have any experience with the intake to decide for myself...

Stalth intake.
I can tell you that my stealth CJ intake feels like I lost 40 bls on the bottom with a close to stock cam. I would use something closer to stock. The iron CJ before that ran much better. This was in a heavy car with 3.70 gears ('72 Torino).

Ok, thanks. I was affraid of that.
Looks like either a Edlebrock Performer or stock intake is my best bet for now.

^^^ uncoated. You'll be in the $700 range once you have them coated.

Have headers on my 400 that I thought about doing a flang swap too, but I doubt I'll go that route, would just like some used L&L chassis exit headers.
