[Amc-list] Does Edelbrock..etc make 290 intake?

Jim,

The SP2P is ok for a small cube AMC that you don't expect too much out of but the benefit over a stock cast iron intake is debatable.

Which one is the SP2P? I recently missed out on one for my '76 J10 shortbox (which has the '77 AMX 304 I used to have in my '73 J4000). I figure I'm going to need the extra 2 bbls to haul my 5th wheel. I'll swipe the Carter/ Edelbrock 600 off my '81 Chev C2500 with 454 (it's too small to feed that big of motor) I found an old 750 AFB in my shed I can overhaul to put back on the truck which is going to be sold as soon as I get one of the other Jeeps running or fix the Travelall (I think I killed the NP202 tcase as a horrible whine is coming out from under it and it lost most of the oil I put in over a 20 mile trip hauling my '78 F350 and '73 J4000 to the scrap in one load)

Joe,

Probably the best intake for a 290 is going to be either the Edlebrock Performer or Offenhauser's Dual Port design.? The Airgap, Torker, Offy 360 Equal Flow are all probably a bit much for the 290 unless you have built it to really move some air.
