Best street 440 intake?
« on: February 23, 2007 - 06:44:51 PM »
 Any advice on which intake would be best for a '70 440 Magnum with a mild cam and stock exhaust , just used for cruise in's and street use?  I'm thinking maybe just a regular stock HP one but how do you know if it's an HP manifold?

If you cant find one, I run an edelbrock rpm, its taller but right there with the dom. Nothing else is close in the dual plane

If it's a mild cruiser, the iron factory ones are pretty good. Get one from a 70-71, and you're fine. The RPM is taller, and may have "issues" fitting with some air cleaners, in adition to messing up the transmission kickdown linkage.

I use the RPM and a 1 5/8", I think, drop base air cleaner with 3" element...see pic.  Fits fine under my Rallye hood.

There are a lot of good manifolds out there for the 440 in street form. If you want dual plane the RPM is a great choice, im sure the Holley is good too, although i have never used it.

single plane, the Mopar M1 is what i have, but I have also heard the Eddy Victor is real nice as well.

for cruzin & street use the Street Dom or the eddy RPM  will work best , the rpm is very tall tough & the street dom gives nothing away at the bottom end & sits at stock height
the M1 & Victor are great for higher RPM but not for low RPM both start working around 3000+ RPM

If you can pick up an Edelbrock Torker 440 they make great street manifolds and don't have too much "rise" to them.  They don't make them anymore, so you'll have to find one used.  The newest iteration of that is the Torker II, but it's a little diffrent than the original 440 manifold.

I have the Street Dominator on my 440. Can't quite cay how it performs first hand as my rig isn't quite running yet. But it looks real good ;D    Other than that, it fits nice under the hood. But one thing you'll have to do if you run a Demon Carb (and maybe a holley??) is to do a little grinding right where the stock choke would go. Some of the linkage hits... that is unless you're running a carb spacer. That really wasn't any big deal though.

the Strret Dom does have a clearance problem around the choke , but you only need to grind it down 1/4 " or so
 the original torker was better than the new version & is a decent intake

Another vote for the RPM. I just don't like the emission looks of the Holley SD  :puke:

I think I have a edelbrock torker 2...It says "TM7" on the front underneath "edelbrock"  It looks are almost identical to the holley street dominator, how does it perform in relation to it?
