a) The RPM intake (1-1/4" taller than stock) is what you want for a 475 - 500 HP engine. It can be used with a special drop-base shaker aircleaner. Larry Navarro just recently started making and marketing this part do a search on this site to find the info. Forget about the P4B, the stock intakes perform better.

b) #96 heads

c) Currently being manufactured by TUNNELPORT, see the Performance Parts For Sale/Wanted forum.

d) As already mentioned you need to mod the crossmember for a TH400. You'll have to install the converter and see how it performs to know the stall. Better yet get a new one built for your combo from Continental (310) 674-1072. Using an unknown converter won't bring out the best performance and street mannners that you want from your car.
