So earlier this year I purchased a 2006 mondello street strip engine that had 2500 miles on it. It runs the C heads completely worked and an Edelbrock carb with Torker intake. Here are the questions.

I am putting this in a 1970 442 4-speed car to run while the W-30 motor is reworked. What hurdles will I have to deal with getting the carb to work with the ram air setup? I have personally never used the air cleaner to hood seal before. I am just purchasing the car and do not have it in front of me to do the engineering myself. Sorry for the low level of knowledge ...usually find myself with blue oval items lately.

Your first problem is that the Torker intake is taller than OEM and won't clear the hood with the stock air cleaner and O.A.I. adapter.

 

Make sure the Mondello engine's crank is drilled for a pilot bearing/bushing if you're going to mate it to a 4 speed.
