Offenhauser vs. Edelbrock intakes

[mountainexplorer]

I have an Big Block Offenhauser polished aluminum intake... appears to be a single plane.

Compare this to say a big block Edelbrock Performer intake... which would you prefer?

and compared to and Edelbrock Performer RPM?

(I'm thinking the single plane Offenhauser will be more RPM happy and belong on something lighter weight, instead of a big 'ole heavy 4x4)

Single plane= higher rpm, dual plane=low end torque: RPM manifold splits the difference

Can't go wrong with an Ede Perf RPM....

I like. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

But I always have to make due with what I end up with.

I have the Offenhauser single plane I kept off a 396 out of a truck I'm putting a 350 in, an Edelbrock Performer that I've had for a while, a Weiand off a 454 I blew up, and may be getting a Performer RPM if I buy this other truck.

I'm thinking the regular Performer would be best for the 454 in my plow truck.

The RPM in my Blue and white GMC with 39.5" Boggers.

The Weiand on the Big Crew cab's .060 over 454 on 44's.

and the Offenhauser on a 427 I might throw together (396 crank and 454 block) for the race rig on 36's.

Or would anyone organize intakes to rigs differently?

Sounds perfect. /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

now build motors accordingly.
