Top end chooice?!?!
Sorry for asking this question..............
I have a 1970 350 HO engine which I am going to rebuild this winter, and I have got a possibility to get the parts shipped to Denmark in a container for a fair price...
Have you guys any experience in the Edelbrock RPM Power package ?? ( Summit# EDL-2099 )
I had my choice set on the Bodix K180 heads along with Holley SA 570, and the Weiand Stealth intake. but should I choose the WND-8016 or WND-8150
Which cam should I aim for??? I want a nice idle, and the wife should be apple to drive it, and besides that I would like as much Power as possible
What is your oponion? should I get the individuel parts or just order he Edelbrock package ??
Thanks
Claus

You need a manual trans. or high stall converter for the RPM cam.
68-72 standard hoods have limited clearance. One should consider the entire flow path. You need at least about 3/4" clearance over the vent tubes.
Minimum for 8150 is LT-1/BB hood.
You can fit Action+ or Performer. Probably not 8016 ... spec. 4.18" in front compared to 3.5" for 2101.

BTW - the Performer RPM intake did clear my dad's factory hood.

Heres the link I promised...

IMO the cam sounds better in real life and with different mufflers. The mufflers that were used were Edelbrocks STS.
