"Experts" is a bit of a stretch

Well, I guess the question in my mind is hood clearence or are you just looking for recommendations?

TPIS Big Mouth and Large Tube runners make some great torque and decent power. SuperRam makes more HP and slightly less torque.

Your RPM range will tell you the correct choice.

Any TPI off a vette will work, it will have the correct center bolt hole angles but you can still use an F body TPI, you have to elongate the the holes.

Just remember you will limit your hp out put with a stock TPI intake but it will give great torq,
