Edelbrock Polished S/B Chevy RPM Air-Gap Manifold

Starting with its unique air-gap design, the Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake manifold separates the intake runners from the hot engine oil. This separation helps keep the incoming air charge cooler and denser, which translates directly into more power for your Chevrolet small-block V8. This manifold is designed for 1955-1986 262-400 cubic inch engines and is a popular choice for street performance builds where improved throttle response and horsepower are desired.

The Performer RPM Air-Gap builds on the race-winning technology found in Edelbrock's Victor Series competition intakes. It features a larger plenum and runners, which are designed to maximize the benefits of other engine upgrades you might have already made or plan to do. The polished finish gives it a brilliant shine, adding a classic look to your engine bay. This manifold accepts 1976 and later alternator and A/C brackets for easier street setup. Keep in mind that it does not have provisions for exhaust-heated chokes or exhaust crossovers, and it's not compatible with 1987 and later cast iron heads or the stock hood on a Corvette.

This manifold fits a wide range of Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500. It's a solid option if you're looking to extract more performance from your small-block Chevy, especially when paired with other compatible engine modifications. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific installation details and any potential clearance considerations.
