Intake Manifold
Our intake choice came down to either single- or dual-plane. While a single-plane would generate a slightly higher peak horsepower, it would also lose some in the low- and mid-range areas. Since the Fairlane is a street car that will go to the track, rather than the opposite, we opted for a dual-plane Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake (PN 7581, $239.95). The Air Gap separates the runners from the heat in the valley cover, and helps keep the air/fuel mixture cooler. When we dyno the engine, we might try a single-plane Victor Jr. just to see the difference.
