What is the main benefit of the Air-Gap design?

The Air-Gap design creates an open space that isolates the intake runners from the hot engine oil. This helps to keep the air charge cooler and denser, which results in more power, especially for street driving.

What type of carburetors can I use with this manifold?

This Edelbrock Performer Air-Gap intake manifold is designed to work with either spread-bore or square-bore carburetors, offering flexibility for your build.

Will this manifold fit under the hood of my Corvette?

This manifold will not fit under the stock hood of a Chevrolet Corvette. It is designed for a wide range of other small-block Chevy applications.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more street performance out of your classic small-block Chevrolet, this Edelbrock Performer Air-Gap intake manifold is a solid choice. It's designed for 262 to 400 cubic inch engines from 1955 through 1986, fitting a wide range of vehicles like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Impala, as well as many Buick and GMC models from that era.

What sets this manifold apart is its Air-Gap design. It creates an open space between the intake runners and the hot engine oil, which helps keep the incoming air charge cooler and denser. Cooler, denser air means more power, especially in the idle to 5500 rpm range where most street driving happens. The high-velocity runners also contribute to improved throttle response, making your car feel more responsive when you hit the gas.

This manifold is built to work with either spread-bore or square-bore carburetors, giving you flexibility in your setup. Keep in mind that it doesn't have provisions for exhaust-heated chokes or exhaust crossovers, and it won't fit under the stock hood of a Corvette. It's a well-built component that can make a notable difference in your street machine's performance.
