If you're looking to give your street 396-502 c.i.d. Chevy V8 a boost, the Edelbrock part #7561 RPM Air-Gap 2-O intake manifold is just what you need. This intake is specifically designed for engines with large oval-port cylinder heads from 1975 and earlier, or for those running the Edelbrock Performer or Performer RPM heads.
This RPM Air-Gap isn’t just any intake; it incorporates the same race-winning technology that has powered our Victor Series competition intakes for years. The innovative Air-Gap design creates an open air space that effectively separates the runners from the hot engine oil. This results in a cooler, denser charge that translates to increased power for your ride.
We’ve included some handy features in this manifold to make your installation easier. You’ll find rear water outlets, two distributor clamp locations, and nitrous bosses. Plus, it’s compatible with all late model alternator and A/C brackets, making it a versatile choice for the street.
Keep in mind, this manifold is designed for square bore carburetors only and will not fit under the stock hood of certain models, including the Corvette, 1964-67 Chevelle, or 1967-81 Camaro. Also, please note that there’s no provision for exhaust heated chokes and no exhaust crossover.
With the Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap 2-O Intake Manifold, you’re not just upgrading your engine; you’re enhancing your driving experience. Get ready to feel the difference!
