I'm sure some day I will have tried a couple different intakes, but for now I need to pick my first one since my project did not come with one.
I've read that if I was keeping my Cleveland stock that the stock intake would be a great option. Going aftermarket would drop weight, but add little in performance. When you start to upgrade parts, upgrading the intake makes more sense.
Maybe that's oversimplified, so now I will get specific.
I have been using the Comp Cams program to pick my cam and other parts.
I already have a 670 carb, roller rockers, and Sanderson shorty headers.
I will be getting this cam and lifter kit:

COMP Cams CL32-421-8 - COMP Cams Magnum Retrofit Cam and Lifter Kits
Cam and Lifters,Hydraulic Roller Tappet,Advertised Duration 270/270,Lift .566/.566, Ford, 351C, 351M, 400, Kit
I was going to go with the Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap. Then I got convinced that the F351-4v was the way to go. Then I found a stock D0AE-9425-L for $50 locally.
I was told that Torkers are not something I should look at. The reason escapes me but sounded reasonable at the time.
Everybody/anybody... please lay your opinions on me.
I have read, and will read more on this, but the more the merrier.
Thanks all!
