After looking for several years for a 69 Super Bee, I pulled the trigger on one last fall. I had wanted one with the standard bulge hood, but this one had the Ramcharger option. To get the ductwork to fit of coarse limits the intake choices.
I am parking the original motor in a corner of my garage and having a 470 stroker built for it. The engine builder says he can port a standard Edelbrock Performer to get within 10-12 hp of a RPM. I can make this work buy purchasing a 440 baseplate. So the cost of a intake is $310. + port work $250. + baseplate $378. + K&N oval filter $82. for a total of $1020.
Or I have a brand new discontinued Holley Street Dominator that I could send off to the builder and say screw the Ramcharger stuff. I would run a K&N drop base with filtered lid with this setup like I have on my other cars.
So my question is what would you guys do, and I would imagine I would still have to rivot the top portion of the ductwork to the hood?
