[83cut350chev]

i jsut picked up a 750 quadrajet off one of my buddies for 10 bucks, gonna get it rejetted for 30. what intake would be best i was lookin at the prformer rpm but it says its a high rise, would i need a cowl hood?

If its going on a Chevy then no...the RPM will be fine..if is an Olds engine youll need to run a drop base aircleaner...

1 its cheaper
2 more hp

If you get a Performer RPM, just remember that there are square flange and spread bore models. You want the spread bore-Performer RPM Q-Jet intake. I don't know if the Stealth has a multi flange plenum, but make sure it does before going any further. Oh, and the RPM Q-Jet can take square or spread bore carbs just like a standard Performer.

i called up one of my dads friends who works with carburetors and he said that i should just keep the q jet with the stock intake, and then when i have the money, to buy a 750 edelbrock new and a square bore...id rahter just get the intake now so i dont have to pull the carb off again, just get it done in one shot. im not sure . is it worth the wait? or would it be better to just pick up the performer RPM with spread bore?

later

Keep the Q-Jet. It's a much better carb than the Edelbrock if you take the time to set it up right. I'd just get the RPM Q-Jet intake so that you later have the option should you want it.

BTW, I just removed an Edelbrock 600 and replaced it with a Quadrajet. I just think it's better and it runs a little better too.

Agree.
Q jet is a much better carb than anything from eldelbrocks carter based carbs.
And also, the wieand stealth is a great intake but only if you have the cubes and a good set of heads to go with it.
I think wieand themselves recommend not using it on anything smaller than 380 cubes.

so just get the spread bore q jet intake your sayin?

 

[R/T kota]

Ya I would stick with the q jet and some form of spread bore intake.
I think the performer is a decent choice and if I remember right, they accept both square and spread bore carbs.

Agree.... I have tried out a couple of different carbs on a few of my projects.... and I feel that the Q-jet performs much better..... as for the intake I personally like the Edelbrock RPM
