E'brock performer Intake

CAn you clarify when you say open plenum what is the plenum

Can anyone post picts of each type?

 

The original torquer with the twisted carb is a great race intake. I made 496 hp with a set of 289 heads and that intake .with the cam I had it would go forever, 8k is where I shifted 7400 thru the eyes. I would use a rpm with a 600 holley. no d/p. small carb gives you port velocity.

so you think that might be a good one for my motor?

me and bow were already in talks actually

 

LOL! Those mopars don't play around...

 

Now I get it, thanks!

 

no problemo .....


this is one heck of an active thread!!!

 

I think we have several swaps happening, and I for one fly pretty blind if you guys get a chance read my last few posts on the Marquis motor swap thread I have several questions there.

 

yup. spring is in the air. that warm breez comming in really gets ya motivated. i know it does me.

 

Ditto Man Ditto, got 2 5.0's sittiin on my garage floor ( only until I get the hoist)
Tryign to decide what to do and to which motor,

 

yea. im just trying to make sure i put my $ to the right parts, maybe find some deals along the way

 

Did we cover the torker vs torker II issue?

Torker289 is no longer made (the one we are talking about here, with the 10 degree twist on the carb). The torker II was Edelbrock's next version, it was lower, had more arch to the runners, and was made to generally give you better hood clearance, from what I have gathered.

The torker289 is a popular intake still today, and they are getting more and more rare.

The torker 289 is quite tall. This makes the runners almost straight. You can look in from the top and "almost" see straight into the intake ports on the heads. On Bowstick's ported torker289, I think you actually CAN see into the heads.

I always intended to run the non-ported one I have now, and get some track numbers, then install the ported one and compare them, but Bowstick was looking for one and I had two so I sold him the one I had been using before I cratered my old engine.

The torker289 will make the carb sit a bit higher, so you may need to experiment with some different air cleaners so your hood doesn't hit...

 

well i do have a giant hole already cut under my scoop so hope fully that will make life easier

thanks for the info though

 

Very stupid and basic question guys what size bolts do I need to mount the motor to my stand? Do they thread into the block ?

 

yeah I plan on putting in a functional hood scoop too,
