I have a 1970 fastback with a 351W. The engine came with a Holley Street Dominator intake manifold and a worn out Holley double pumper. Too much corosion in the carb to rebuild, missing parts etc. I have a new 600 CFM Edelbrck carburetor that I picked up at a swap meet. I plan to degree the cam to see what I have and at some time pop the heads to check deck height, piston type, etc. What I don't know is anything about the intake. I'm looking to use as much as I can for now just freshenng up gaskets and such until I can build up another 351W to swap into the car. Just looking at it the intake, it looks like a high RPM type of intake. How "streetable" is this intake going to be? My plan is for a weekend driver that has some good snap, but drivable enough to handle city type traffic. I had been thinking of getting a Wieand Stealth intake, but if the Street Dominator will do I can save a few bucks until I do the other engine buid. Any have experience with the Street Dominator
It's one of the older dual plane intakes. It's a street manifold, dual plane moderate rpm range, similar to an Edelbrock Performer. For what you want it's just fine, very streetable. I think JamesW has one on his pony. The Weiand Stealth is similar to the Edelbrock RPM, a higher rpm street manifold

Good memory... you saw that photo a week or so ago.
Yeah, I had a Holley Street Dominator on my 302 with a Holley 1850. I thought it was a nice mid range street intake. I'd take it, have it stripped and powdercoated clear or aluminum color, and slap it back on there!

I dont know that 600 cfm is enough for a 351. I had a 625 Carter Edelbrock and Carter both made by webber anyway same carb.) on my 289 seemed to be about right with the gt 40 heads and cam. I think in the search you can find a formula to figure what cfm you need. My guess a 351 should do 750 with out to much trouble.
At 6000 RPM, 100% VE is about 600 cfm. No normally aspirated engine operates at 100 %. Also, with an unknown bottom end I won't be running it like that anyway. I'm sure 600 cfm will do just fine for a street engine.
Yeah, 600cfm is fine on a mild 351W, a well build street 351 I wouldn't go any larger than 700cfm. Read the overcarburetion thread I started a few minutes ago, I was suprised by what I found

The sad thing is I remember stuff like that, but don't know the names of half the people in my church and I've been going there for 2 years. And it's a small church. I must have a single plane mind....I mean one track
