Weiand or Edelbrock intake for BB? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So.Cal.Super · 03-26-2009, 03:11 PM

In case anyones wondering i have a few threads going as I am researching parts (thanks to the board and its members) for some repairs / upgrades I am doing.

Since I am replacing the cam and lifters I figured I would put a new intake on as well. I am running a q-jet so I am looking at the Weiand street warrior dual plane or the similar in the edelbrock. curious if anyone has used one or the other.

this is for a 402 BB

thanks

Intake needs to match the cam rpm range

I agree with BCOWANWHEELS - what cam are you running
FWIW the Edelbrock is made in the USA VS overseas for the Wieand
