350 intake parts questions.

If you wanted to know where all the spaghetti goes, here's the routing on my truck. Unfortunately, the State of Komiefornia makes me have all this **** hooked up!

So on just an average stock 350 what would be a good intake for an improvement?

Edelbrock 2701 Performer Intake Manifold https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00063046Q?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Edelbrock 7201 Intake Manifold Gasket - Pair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CN709E?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I'm installing this one on my truck right now. For the money it' a good upgrade from the stock one I pulled off. I'll let you know how I like it once I get it on and running.

Hey guys, Q-jets are AWESOME if you know how to build and tune them! I, in my younger days, used to rebuild and tune them for "haters" who were blown away by how good they were when properly done.

Heck, I used to race with guys who ran Q-jets (myself included) and blew away guys in their class running Holley's.

National Carburetors used to have an employee named Eddie Obie. If you gave him ALL the information on your engine build/vehicle/use he'd build the best carb you could ever dream of!

Just sayin'...

I looked for that intake...and ended up buying 2 for less than 1 on ebay....they were less than the cost of the Edelbrock 2701 ....sold one for the cost including shipping....Aluminum dual plane intakes on the street are very similar in performance....a little time spent port matching will be what gets you that 1 or 2 more horses

See im not to versed in this kinda thing... idk the dual plane and all that...

Dual plane intakes generally have better "street ability" where single planes are, generally considered better for racing. Single plane intakes aren't as forgiving at idle. Not that you can't make a single plane work for the street it's just their better suited for higher horsepower applications.

Last BBC I built was for off road and bottom end torque was more of a concern than HP so a dual plane fit the bill better for that particular use, IMO.

The reason I always preferred Q-jets, especially for off road, is the center fuel bowl so it doesn't starve out the fuel at extreme angles.

Yes
See how it's deeper on the right 2 holes, compared to the left 2.
