I'm new to this so please take it easy on me.. I have a 1965 442 with a 425 that is out of a 1966 tornado, the engine seems to be pretty strong. I'm looking to put on a new intake and carb.. any ideas? What I know about the engine is it is bored 30 over and has a mild cam the car currently has a edlebrock 650 and a cast intake..

 

It the cast intake an original Toro piece? If so, they are supposed to flow fairly well.
Anyway, for an aftermarket aluminum intake the Performer 455 is a good choice.

For the carb, I like the QuadraJet. It has good driveability for street use and enough air flow capability for a big block.

 

the cast intake is an original toro piece

 

X2 Qjet properly set is a great choice for the 425. Pictured is my 800CFM Qjet from Deanscarbs.com.

 

Toronado QJet
readily available in great condition dirt cheap

epay for example
get the kind with choke that matches your intake or better yet Hot AIr choke and convert to electric.

 

I have a toro qjet core with both oem brackets that mount to that toro intake and with the toro throttle shaft - 1966 carb. 50.00 dirt cheap.
