Torker vs R4B

As you may have seen on various posts, I am putting together a 420 cu in stroker. It has Eddy heads ported and polished and flow about 320 @ .700. It also has a bullet cam, about .580 lift and 245 degrees duration @.050.

The short block has been bored and honed with a torque plate, new cam bearings, Autotec pistions (10.4:1), Eagle rods, crank has been lightened and the assembly has beenneutral balanced. The custom Harland Sharp roller rockers are due to get them this week, so it's decision time on the intake.

In short, I am expecting this motor to goto 6,500-7,000 rpms.

Does ANYONE have any experience with running a Torker and an R4B? My buddy thinks I should run the R4B for nostalgia reasons mostly and I want to run the Torker. He says the Torker needs too much work to make it flow right.
Also, will I have any hood clearance problems (I don't think I will, but it's worth asking).
I am really up in the air on this one.

BTW, the car is an 81 Spirit with a Ford 9 inch with 3.71 posi. It also has a built TF998 with a dakota valve body so I can electrically turn off the lockup on the 3,000 rpm stall converter. I also plan to run an 850 DP Holley.

I need some good sound advice on this one before I go to the dyno for tuning.

I wouldn't even consider an r4b on that combo..Torker all the way....grind down the bumps on the inner 4 runners and bolt it on...

Torker.

Yep Torker with your combo/RPM range.

Well, now that the decision has been made (Torker), I will match the heads to the ports. I just got my custom Harland Sharpe rockers today, so Sunday will be Fun Day!

Thanks everyone for your input! I kinda figured that would be the consensus here, but I have a soft spot in my heart for those R4B's....They always treated me right 35 years ago, but then again, I didn't build my motors to tis level - I was still in high school and didn't have much money!
