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
Tires will probably be 28" tall
289 block
781 heads
Compression ratio will be 9.5:1
It has roller rockers.
Headers with 2" primaries and 3.5 outlet
Carb is a Holley 750 double pumper
What intake and cam should I use ?
I was looking at the Edelbrock "performer RPM" intake
I was looking at the comp cams thumper or mutha thumper cams but am unsure of what is best for my application
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
