in the process of buying a inlet manifold to suit my 355 stroker with vn heads to run carby setup. which brand should i go for and should i go single or dual plane. it is a week end street car.

pvk308

how much hp are you looking to get and some engine specs cam, compression carby size etc would be great for an informed decision to be made mate

yella1ton

well im not really sure on the cam and carby yet im kinda just buying one thing at a time. Im looking at making 400 anything over 400 id be happy with. im leaning towards a harrop though ive herd good things. The cam will be a hyd probably a 286.

pvk308

the harrop single plane are a very good manifold mate and would highly recomend them

PVE

Aren't there other cams similar to a 286 that offer alternative / better torque or power?
What are the alternatives and what is the major characteristic?

allports

Harrop single

ok cheers man will the single plane fit under the bonnet of a hx as i dont wanna cut a hole in it. correct me if i am wrong but the single plane is better for higher revs and the dual is better for low down.

yella1ton

Oh and what is the a rough price figure for them

pvk308

dont quote me but i think it will just fit uner the bonnet if you dont use a spacer and use a small filter and yes you are correct the single plane works well higher in the rev range dual plane lower in the rev range and will give better torque as well

yella1ton

ok cheers mate does anyone know the rough price of a harrop single

pvk308

shouldnt be more than $850 roughly

pumba

would a 286 make 400hp??? u talking about RWHP or engine HP? if your after that power, i would look into something like a 288 solid crane cam. would go great with the 355ci and a harrop single plain and 750 demon carby... thats what i would do anyway

ok well cheers pvk308

Pumba cheers mate im not really sure as what cam im going yet i was thinking of going the hyd cam but how much extra would it cost to go the solid 288. Im aiming for around 400 engine hp so you dont think the 286 would make that?

yella1ton

cheers allports
Repco priced one up for me they are such a rip off. I have a mate that works there and he did the qoute he told me they can get one for about $750 but once they put there share onto it im looking at 1200 so why would anyone go through them.
