Need Advice

[Guest smokin350]

I am in the process of rebuilding a 350 sbc/700r4 combo for my 85 camaro. Can anyone tell me what type of intake and carb would be best for a stock application? I am converting from TBI to carbueration. I know this a forum for Z's but since you are all using 350 sbc's i figured someone could help me

if the stock cams used or a near stock cam and stock heads, theres no question a good dual plane intake like the EDELBROCK RPM PLUS AIR GAP is the correct choice, simply because youll never pull the high enough average rpms necessary to get the benefit from the single plane designs

a general rule you can use, is its very rare for a single plane intake to give better results with a cam having under about 230 dur at .050 lift...if your cams got less duration than 230 deg,s at .050 l;ift its almost certain a good dual plane intake will work best.

 

you might want to read thru this, keep in mind that both the intake and exhause effect the cylinder fill thru exhaust scavaging durring the overlap period when both valves are open

these work fairly well, especially if your not into advanced tuning, and just want a bolt and drive carb that gives reasonable (ABOVE)

 

but heres what Id sellect (BELOW) if price was the main factor yet I wanted to have flexibility to tune

This is the right place to ask a question like you asked. Don't be afraid...

The rpm air gap and an Edelbrock 600cfm is about as basic and fool-proof as you can get IMO.
