Edelbrock Intake Manifolds

Edelbrock Intake Manifolds: From Street Cruiser to Race Winner

Few names carry as much weight in the performance aftermarket as Edelbrock, and nowhere is that legacy more apparent than in their lineup of intake manifolds. Since founder Vic Edelbrock Sr. began building performance intake manifolds in 1938, Edelbrock has grown into one of the most trusted names in American high-performance parts. Today, that heritage lives on in a carefully tiered catalog that covers everything from emissions-legal street bolt-ons to all-out race castings.

Edelbrock intake manifolds are carefully developed and extensively tested to maximize performance and appearance in every application from the street to the strip, with performance ranges from an emissions-legal street-oriented bolt-on for daily drivers to a full-on race casting for serious competition — and they are ready to bolt on and go right out of the box. Every Edelbrock intake manifold is American-made with total in-house control over quality in their ISO-9001-certified manufacturing facilities.

The Performer Series: Patented Dual-Plane Technology for the Street

The entry point into the Edelbrock intake manifold family is the legendary Performer series. The Performer is a patented dual-plane, low-rise intake manifold with a 180° design that greatly improves torque over a wide RPM range, offering excellent throttle response from off-idle through 5,500 RPM — making it an ideal choice for muscle cars, hot rods, restomods, passenger cars, custom trucks, 4x4s, and RVs. Coverage spans an enormous range of classic American V8s, including small-block and big-block Chevy, Ford, Mopar, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, and AMC engines.

The Performer Air-Gap variant elevates the formula further. Performer Air-Gap manifolds offer the same performance-proven qualities of the Performer series but with the addition of Edelbrock's patented Air-Gap design, which features an open air space that separates the runners from engine heat, resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power.

Performer RPM & RPM Air-Gap: High-Rise Street/Strip Performance

When your build calls for more top-end punch, the Performer RPM steps in. The Performer RPM is a dual-plane, high-rise manifold with a 180° design that greatly improves top-end horsepower while retaining excellent throttle response, with larger plenums and runners that work well with high-lift cams, free-flowing exhausts, and other modifications of a high-output engine.

The pinnacle of the street-oriented lineup is the award-winning RPM Air-Gap. The RPM Air-Gap intake manifold incorporates the same race-winning technology used on the Victor Series competition intakes, with an air-gap design featuring an open air space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil — a detail that translates directly into measurable power gains on the dyno.

Victor Series: Built for the Racers

At the top of the hierarchy sits the Victor series, Edelbrock's purpose-built race intake line. Victor intake manifolds are the most popular choice for maximum race-winning power at higher engine speeds, engineered in collaboration with leading engine builders and racers from all forms of competition, and available for single or multiple-carburetor set-ups. These single-plane, high-rise intakes are designed for maximum race-winning power at higher engine speeds, with RPM ranges extending well past 8,000 RPM on select applications.

Multi-Carb & EFI Intake Options

Edelbrock also offers a wide selection of multiple carburetor manifolds for Ford, Chevy, and Mopar, with RPM Air-Gap Dual-Quad manifolds for both street and competition engines featuring an open air space that separates the runners from engine heat for a cooler, denser charge and more power. For EFI builds, the Pro-Flo series brings modern fuel injection technology to classic engine families.

Whether you're building a dependable weekend cruiser or a purpose-built drag car, Edelbrock's intake manifold lineup offers a proven, USA-made solution for virtually every classic American V8 platform. Explore the full range of Edelbrock intake manifolds to find the right fit for your build.
