RPM Air Gap 2-O Intake Manifolds (1500-6500 RPM)
The only street/strip intake manifolds with an "air gap" in the plenum which cools the intake charge to increase horsepower. Manifolds are not equipped with EGR or exhaust heat crossover passages. Designed for 1975 and earlier street 396-502 c.i.d. Chevy V8s with large oval-port cylinder heads or Edelbrock Performer/Performer RPM heads.
The RPM Air-Gap incorporates the same race-winning technology that’s been used on our Victor Series competition intakes for decades. The Air-Gap design features an open air space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power. Includes rear water outlets, two distributor clamp locations and nitrous bosses. Accepts all late model alternator and A/C brackets for the street. For square bore carburetors only. No provision for exhaust heated chokes and no exhaust crossover. Available with satin, polished, black powder coated or EnduraShine finish.
