Winter options
 

This winter I was planning on working on my 1973 Challenger. I have two things in mind work on the motor that is in it (not original) a LA 360 with J heads and an edelbrock torker 340 or swapping the motor for a 5.9 magnum. If I went with the magnum I would put an RPM air gap intake on it to make it carbureted. If I went 360 I would put a cam in it and stall in it and maybe a RPM air gap as well. Is there any other suggestions I want to keep it fairly cheap. Also I plan on running it in hot rod power tour so reliability is a factor. Thanks!

P.S. I know that the torker 340 is supposed to be bad and it's a single plain but I can't tell a difference from the performer I had because I have 3.91 sure grip.

The Sky is the limit..... Go with what fits the budget.... I say...
Just my 2 cents
Keep us posted....

Budget?
 

Go with the 360 you have.

Yeah, I'd go with the 360 you have and build it.

Agree, stay with the 360 (just personal opinion). While e a dual plane intake will give better street performance, with 3.90's the Torker won't be an issue, and if it is, you can correct the problem with a 1", 4 hole spacer. Been doing that for 10 years now, but mine is on a 440. Look into good mid range cams (3k - 6k) , usually staying below the 300 (total) duration / 500 lift will work. Comp Cams are pretty popular.
