hurricane intake thoughts

[freddiejip]

Wondering what you guys thoughts were on the hurricane manifolds. I am currently running a victor Jr on my 379 sbc with procomp 230 heads full roller setup with comp cams with .680 lift, 276/284 duration, 13.5 compression and a Barry grant demon 825. Looking to run 8200-8300 on the pulling track this year. I've been looking at the 2970 edelbrock incase I upgrade to the 4500 base but not sure yet. Thank you

I have seen some of those cheap copied intakes. They need lots of work to get them just down the street from the ball park.

I would look at the edelbrock manifold if the ports will line up close to your heads.

Ever consider an old Holley Strip Dom. or a Weiand Team G??

Just thinking out loud...

You'll get 50 answers, but anything should be a lil better than the vic jr unless it's ported. I like the Motown myself or just try a 1-2" spacer.

Holley 300-25 is hard to beat for the money, out of the box configuration.

The Hurricane faired very well in the CarCraft intake comparison test but the Holley Strip Dom. was top of the heap. All tests were done with out of box castings.

All tests were done with out of box castings.

personally, I think this was part of that test that could have been improved- I don't disagree with their results, but I feel that some of the edelbrock intakes suffered a bit because the victor jr and original supervic have very small openings (smaller than stock size..ish) on the intake gasket face OOTB. some others are much nearer to the size you would want even for old chevy stock castings. a quick gasket match would have been good IMHO

I have done a little work to the vic Jr to the runners and opened the carb base up to the gasket and worked the runners inside. I also picked up a 2" hvh to try too

Here is a link to some manifold runner lengths and openings.

I like the 300-25 myself.
