Edelbrock Intake Manifolds
I've got a Ford Racing 514 that I'm installing in a Cobra replica. I started with the Performer RPM, only to find out from the kit manufacturer that its too tall to provide necessary underhood clearance. So, I installed a Performer manifold. It is lower rise, but I'm not happy that the intake port size is too small to match well with the Ford Racing CJ heads. I see Edelbrock also offers the Torker II intake that appears to be a bit lower in height than the Performer, but is recommended for CJ heads, which I take to mean it has larger intake runner ports.
Any experience with this manifold? With the 514 in a light Cobra replica, I probably don't need the low end torque of the Performer RPM? Would just spin the tires at a lower speed? Since there are no parallel performance comparisons by Edelbrock, I'd appreciate your experiences. Haven't fired the engine yet and would like to put the best intake on before I do.
Thanks,
Chuck
