Not Ranked
385 series
Yes, the 514 is a stroked 460, one of the 385 series. Since this will be a street vehicle, I want to use the most streetable powertrain possible. With the Torker II designed for a 2500-6500 RPM powerband, that sounds too high for street use, but with the brute impact of all that displacement at low speeds, I'm wondering if this might be a very drivable combination. I know that the Performer RPM is ranked pretty high in terms of torque production vs. other altermate manifolds. But, I have no idea where the Torker II or Performer fit in that comparison or how drivable they would be with 514 cubic inches underneath.
I'll call Edlebrock tomorrow to discuss, but real world experience is always the best.
