I have run Both intakes On and off the Track.
The offey Intake will use and squar bore carb. And it will also use the Q jet (spread Bore carb With the use of adaptor ) For street Use the offey is very good for low to mid range power. And works well even with a cam (with head work(ported 1.8&1.6 valves no boss) 12-1 compression an a cam) lift of 583/607 was the bigest cam I ran on the offey)But also worked very well with the stock head and a Rv type cam and a 600 holley. Now on the other hand The clifford was more desinged for the Mid to High Rpm ranges in mind. It be in the best interest If you plan on running it mainly as a street motor. Is to have the head cleaned up. Meaning the ports and the list starts here.
1)If Plans are a street motor with the stock valves clean the ports up , a good 3 angle valve job and some clean up or reshaping of the head both boss.& maybe having lump port work done to it.
2) If your plans are to use the motor as double duty (street & raceing)Then think ahead On What cam you plan on useing.
3) Then think about stepping up the valve size to either 1.8s or even a 1.94 for the intake and a 1.5 or 1.6 for the exhaust.
4) the next big issue you will have to think about is to either remove The head bolt boss Or lump port the head.
If You are plaining to run the clifford mainly for street It would be in your best interest to reshape the boss Or in stall a lump (either a bolt in/Or brazed in lump) into the head.Buy removing the head bolt boss and Not installing a lump You can lose some lowend power for sure.(with the clifford Because of the runner size.(volume) Once a Head has been ported It then Becomes UNSAFE To even think about doing the Braze in lump port. Old heads pour casting Are prone to cracking when doing a braze in lump. So the safer issue is to go with the bolt in lump.
5) Being the bigest issue of them all Plan&Plan and match everything to what you have in mind to do with the motor.And get the Head to breath. If the head can't breath good It won't matter what intake You have on it. Hope this helps }[oooooo]
