As some of you might know, I am building a 401 for my CJ7.
I am nearing the decision making point of getting an intake & carb and wondered if ya'll had any suggestions.
The options I am considering are:
R4B with an edelbrock 600cfm (or nearest cfm to 600)
Performer w/ same carb
Offenhauser 360 dual 4bbl w/ 2 Holley 390 +/- cfm carbs
Obviously the "cool factor" goes to the Offy, but realistically, can I do a 400+ hp motor justice with either of the other two setups? I want this to be maintenence free as possible but dont want to hurt my HP too much.
Also, If anyone has any nice, good looking valve covers for sale, let me know. I like the e-brock aluminum ones but $200 is a bit more than I want to spend.
Thanks
Dave
