Low deck Holley Street Dominator...Holy Grail?

[68ChargerJMP]

Before I post an ad in the wanted section looking for a Holley Street Dominator for a low deck....am I wasting my time? Is that like a holy grail of manifolds for a low deck?

A Holley Street Dom is probably the best single-plane manifold out there until you get up into extreme big/stroked 440s that will eat up an MP M1 or Victor intake and keep going.  Not sure about the low-deck version but I know the raised-deck versions are back in production and you can buy them through Summit, Jegs, etc...  Might check those guys for the B-block, they may be avail new, probably not much more than you would get them on e-bay.  Take a look at the runners, nice gradual curved path to the ports, and you'll see why it's such a nice performing manifold.  For low decks, you can also keep an eye out for the "original" Torker...not the Torker II, that one is not bad...you might ask AKCharger how he likes it...I mistakenly bought a Torker 383 for my 440 (didn't read the fine print) and sold it to him.  I think it's for his wife's '72 400...

Cheers,

It depends on the combo. For a 451 stroker with good heads, deep gears and a loose converter....yes it's a very good choice. For a slightly warmed over 383-400 the performer rpm high rise dual plane is excellent. There will be a noticable amount of difference in Torque with the dual plane vs. the single plane. Lowdeck motors have short strokes so they don't make the big torque that a 440 does. The more you can help it down low...the better you will like driving the car. Torque rules on the street.

If you're not gonna spin it past 6k then the RPM would be my choice.  As Duey correctly stated; the "old" torker is also an excellent manifold....just behind the RPM in the street manifold pecking order.

Ps. What's the combo : cubic inches, headflow, gears, stallspeed, cam, headers etc....

Had 3 of them last year at this time.  Sold on the old site within 2 weeks. 

Yes they are sought after.  Can outperform other single planes down low with it's shorter runners, and can outbreath a dual plane in the upper RPM's.  Shorter than most aftermarket intakes, great for hood clearance.

2 used went for $125 + shipping, and one that had never been used same as new sold for $150 + shipping.

Thanx for the info guys.
