Cool

Do yourself a favor and check everything out carefully before dropping it in. A couple of hours looking things over now can save you a bunch of time later if there's a few minor things that need to be addressed.

Yep go with a 750 At least... course that depends on the Heads Cam and Compression, what does it have in it? Why do you want to sell the Manifold?

Baloney - they'll rev like anything else with the right cam and heads. They were just choked by smogger heads and 2bbl intakes in their original configuration. They respond VERY WELL to good size heads and the correct camshaft.

I have a 3.73 Posi in mine... I love it... I say 2500-2800 due to the cam you have... My cam is about 10° more than yours...

Re: look what i got today (:

I'd honestly consider swapping the cam - it's really a drastic mis-match for the heads unless they've been professionally ported to perfection...and even then, it's too big

If you sell the intake what are you getting? The RPM is a great intake.
