DESCRIPTION:
Edelbrock Performer intake manifolds are designed for 396-502 c.i.d. big-block Chevy engines operating in the idle to 5500 rpm range.
Performer RPM and RPM Air-Gap intake manifolds are designed for 396-502 c.i.d. big-block Chevy engines operating in the 1500-6500 rpm
range. In most cases, these manifolds accept late model water necks, air conditioning, alternator and H.E.I. ignition systems. Any exceptions
are listed in the “Applications” section below. Match Performer or Performer RPM intake manifolds with recommended carburetors and
additional equipment for even greater performance increases.
APPLICATIONS:
INTAKE MANIFOLD REFERENCE APPLICATION
2161, 3761 B, C, E Performer 2-O: Designed for street 396-502 c.i.d. big-block Chevy V8s using general
duty oval-port cylinder heads. Will fit 1965-1990 oval-port heads. Not for “tall block”
V8s. Use #8028 waterneck adapter for 1986 and later. Choke plate #8961 included.

oval-port cylinder heads (1975 and earlier). No provisions for exhaust heated chokes.
Not for “tall block” V8s. 7163 is similar to 7161, but is designed to fit high performance
rectangular-port cylinder heads. Will not fit oval port heads.

exhaust heated chokes or exhaust crossover. 7562 is similar to 7561, but is designed
to fit high performance rectangular-port cylinder heads. Will not fit oval port heads.
