454 build - what intake and cam ?
Hi all,
I bought a built up 454 mark iv engine to install into my 67 impala. I would like to install a different intake and cam before I put it in the car.
The intake is an Edelbrock Torker II which is Rated by Edelbrock for 2500-6500 RPM. I would like an intake that is designed to produce power and torque starting a bit lower than 2500 RPM.
i want to change the cam because I have heard this engine run and it idles too smooth. Yes i know, I should not chose a cam by what it sounds at at idle.... But I do want one that produces good power and torque as well as idles a bit rough.
Ok so heres the rest of the story.
Car is a 67 Impala sport sedan
Transmission is a Muncie M20
Rear end is 12 bolt, 4.10 and positraction

Compression ratio will be 9.5:1
It has roller rockers.

What intake and cam should I use ?
