All dual plane vs single plane arguments go out the door when you're talking about 482 cubes. If this was a 352 or a 390, my answer would be different, but an engine approaching 500 cubes can get away with non-typical items. The same idea applies to small blocks. A 351W would be a little fussy with a Victor Jr or Super Victor intake, but a 427/445/460W would be right at home with one. They need the extra plenum volume and can handle the demands that a short runner places on a smaller engine.

If you have the room under the hood, my vote is the Victor FE. You can still have a very nice streetable engine with a single plane intake...I promise.... Let the cam put the peak where you want it, run plenty of advance in the cam timing, and let her eat.
