Default Re: Next question, intake

That was my thought as well, that the open port vs. split seemed like an advantage. I'm no engineer, but it seems to me having access to a larger volume of air/fuel mixture in the open port compared to the split port could only help mixing and amount that could actually be pulled in to the cylinder. It seems the most restrictive part then would be the head and intake valve, and not those PLUS the intake manifold channel.
I guess i'll be cleaning and painting that 351 manifold... and looking at the 500cfm carb.
