I know Tim, I remember, I was just thinking about possibilities saying with ALL american parts... The OZ stuff is fine and dandy if you want otherworld stuff...

Thanks for the link Nolan but the Clifford stuff is backwards too... I mean Aussie... [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

This 200 head I am working is an untouches original 200 from a 78 fairmont, never milled or touched until now.

I've researched exhaust valves this morning and I am going with a 1.495" valve as compared to the 1.39 stock. I am going to start some mill work on the head later this week if I have the time.

After looking at the head, just lobbing off the intake portion would gain zero advantage due to materials that weld to cast being scarce...
I am shooting for mill work and fabrication with gasket's.

I have available to me about 6" to make runners unless I go with a single 4V, then I can go 2 feet if I needed it, but the welded in frame strengtheners on this falcon prevent me from doing 3 carbs with more than 5 or 6 inches of intake runners...

About that subject of intake length versus torque, how does it apply to injected engines with the injectors only 1" from the intake valve?

What factors the higher rpm touque curve as to the length of intake runners?
