Hi guys.
I ran across a deal at the DFW swap meet this weekend, and now I have too many options. I found a Corvette dual exhaust manifold, Offy 2x1 intake and a pair of Carter YF's. I already have a set of Fenton headers, a Fenton 2x1 intake, and a pair of Carter/Webers from Tom Langdon. This is all going an a stock 235 in my 55.1 3100 pickup. I'm after reliability, a little more oomph, and a little more "cool factor" at the shows. But now I've gone and given myself a bewildering set of options. So I thought I'd see what everyone else thinks. What do you guys make of these 8 options?
I guess there' 10 option if I include leaving the stock intake manifold and running the Rochester B or one of the YF's.
Here's some of my observations --
-The Vette exhaust manifold makes hooking up exhaust heat to the intake trivial
-The Carter/Webers are progressive 2 barrels with small primaries, might help with throttle response on the mild motor.
-The Carter YF's are 1 11/16 bore - a pair of them might be overkill for the 235
-The Fenton intake has the carbs closer to the ends than the Offy
-The Fenton headers have the second downpipe to the front of the engine, whereas the Vette exhaust has it to the rear.
I look forward to seeing you guys' comments and experiences.
regards,
Leon
