obviously Todd is advising you to not go the single plane intake manifold route. I will also chime in that your set-up is not designed for the single plane, but rather the dual plane. Take a read here, then decide before you buy the intake.

ahhh, a good read, so the edelbrock one i found earlier is the better choice?

I built a C with less cam than you're getting, and 2V heads. It loves the single plane to the tune of mid-13's in a '73 FB at 2700 feet...in the summer. The response below 2k may not be as crisp as 2-plane, but it is still pretty good. Plus, the Xcelerator is listed to start at 1500 rpm due to its design. The manifolds that M&F article were talking about were the higher end racing manifolds. Unless you plan on a cruise rpm under 1500, don't sweat the single plane.

the edelbrock says more low end torque and the weiand says up to 19 more dyno HP.

I'd say you'll be around 1000 with that cam. So, yeah, 1500 isn't far away. I doubt you'd really want to run the engine that slow anyway. I keep my little 302 above 2k whenever possible...it's just more fun up there, and the mileage doesn't suffer since that's where it's designed to run (only the Weiand Stealth s made to work under 2500
and it's life is limited. I'll probably be going to the Victor Jr. intake).
