The Hurricane is a Chinese knockoff of the Tomahawk, which was a Chinese knockoff of the old Holley Street Dominator intake from the 1970's/1980's. The Hurricane is widely regarded as a poor quality unit, and has to be reworked substantially to be effective. The reason they (the reproduction companies that farm out stuff to Taiwan/China) made these knock-off intakes is because there was a demand for the old Holley Street Dominator. The Holley Street Dominator is a single plane intake that was close to stock height, and allowed owners of 2nd Gen Birds to have an intake that works with their stock shaker scoop assembly.

I'm not sure what your RPM range is, but you mentioned you have a stroker 400 and 220/232 cam with untouched 6X heads. Without knowing what's in the bottom end as far as rods/pistons, I would assume you're looking at a 99% street car, with maybe a trip to the track a couple times. I think you would be much better off with a dual-plane intake. The RPM is a good all around intake right out of the box, and can be reworked for high perf applications. An issue you may have will be hood clearance. The RPM is very tall, I believe around 1.5" taller than stock. I've used one on my 69 Bird many times, but you need a drop base air cleaner.

A stock Pontiac intake will work well too, and will be the least troublesome as far as clearance, brackets, etc.

Might want to provide some more info, such as the car you intend to install this engine in, the trans, rear end ratio, exhaust system, and type of carb you intend to use.
