Torker II or Victor Jr

[NATEHAWK]

Will a Torker II or a Victor Jr. fit under my hood with a 351W without any mods?

[gadget73]

Don't you have an Edelbrock intake now?

[Tiggie]

I'd go with the Victor Jr. if at all possible. Summit Racing says it's 5.750 in tall, so subtract from that your current intake and then take some modeling clay and put the difference on top of your air cleaner, shut the hood, and then read the clay so see if it'll fit.

I believe the victor is about 3/4" taller than the air gap

With my rpm air gap and a half inch nitrous plate I had to run a small air cleaner and cut the bracing out of my hood.

With the 2" cowl I have an additional 1" air cleaner spacer with a full size moroso air cleaner

I got my Victor Jr. on Corral.net for $140 from a guy about 5miles down the road from me...his screen name is mattponch, but his real name is Bill...he has a lot of stuff...
if you contact him, tell him Colin referred ya, he'll give ya even cheaper prices...
when I was asking about my Carb swap, the guy that ported my heads told me that the Victor Jr. was the best choice, but the Torker II was a close 2nd.
but, the Torker II could be made to perform almost as well is the Victor Jr. with some porting work.

Naw I'm running a ford racing dual plane intake. I talked to turbo and he said by keeping that intake I would be losing 50 to 70ish hp don't wanna do that. I think I'm going to go with some D0OE heads for the bigger valves. Turbo seems to be very knowlegable of the whole subject of head intake and cam combo's. Gadjet do you still have those D0OE heads you got off ebay awhile back if so wanna sell em?

[Mr. Land Yacht]

Turbo? as in turbo2256b? great guy.
yes, he's VERY knowledgeable...his friend Gerry is the guy that ported my heads.
both of them know what they're doing with 302's.

Have you checked to se if the Victor Jr. will fit? Im trying to go with whatever intake will fit without moding my hood. Im trying not to have to cut up the hood..

[Mr. Land Yacht]

I hope it will fit...LOL.
I'm pretty sure it will fit...Turbo said it will.
if you wanted to be sure, you could just get the Torker II...from what I hear it's a close 2nd to the Vitor Jr.

My RPM Air_Gap required removal of some of the bracing. If you want to run a decent sized air filter you are gonna have to cut the bracing at least.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

I plan to run a 14X2" air filter..maybe a 14X3"...I sure hope it fits.

[DuceAnAHalf]

My aircleaner assembly is 3.5" from bottom of the lower part to the highest point on the lid. That does not include the wing nut.


Thats with no spacer under the carb or under the air cleaner

[gadget73]

I dunno there isn't a lot of room under your hood. I don't think you can get away with anything much taller in there without hacking up the hood supports or installing a cowl or something. I also kind of doubt 50 hp difference from that intake to something else. Its not like you're going from one of those iron CFI manifolds to something else. I'm sure there are better intakes to be had, but 50+ hp from just an intake manifold when going from an aftermarket 4bbl to another aftermarket 4bbl seems awful optimistic

[Mr. Land Yacht]

should I go with a 1" or 1/2" carb spacer?
I wonder why the 1/2" is more expensive...
BTW, what's Phenoilc material?

You might end up smoking your marauder with better heads nate. That would kick ass.
