428 Intake, with Edelbrock heads

[jared1970]

I'm building a 428 with the Edelbrock RPM heads. I'm planning on driving this car a little on the street, but mostly looking for dragstrip performance. I'm planning on shifting at 6500 with a C6. I haven't yet selected a cam or converter. Would anyone care to make some suggestions on intake manifold choice given what info I have provided?

I'd consider the Edelbrock Victor manifold if you have room under the hood.

For the rpm range that you will be operating the engine in and with the automatic transmission I would use the Edelbrock Performer RPM and a our stage 2 head work. The cylinder head work would cost you 800.00 and this includes stage 2 CNC porting and competition valve job and heads re-assembled properly. I would recommend a hydraulic roller camshaft and an up-grade valve spring. Good luck Keith

Who offers these Stage 2 heads? I just got my short block back from the engine shop, and haven't done a lot of research yet on what's available. I'm trying to work as much overtime as I can to save up for the heads, etc (don't want to borrow money for the build up). Anything you guys can advise me on would be appreciated. This is my fisrt FE. A good friend of mine is helping me on the build, he's an expert on original FE parts, but doesn't know much about the new aftermarket stuff.
