Well that's not
quite what Larry said. He said the Offenhauser will give you more
low end torque. The Clifford will probably give you more peak torque if you raise the compression ratio enough and run a "lumpy" enough cam. But the peak torque will be higher in the RPM range with the larger runner Clifford than the smaller runner Offy.
I concur completely with Twisted and will recommend the Offy for a mildly built 6 with or without extra headwork. For more radical builds the Clifford will get more air into the engine at higher rpms increasing overall power.
