Edelbrock Victor 383 Intake Manifold Improves Performance for Mopar Wedge

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Dec. 5, 2002) – Edelbrock’s Victor 383 (PN 2886), unveiled at the Edelbrock booth (1527) at the PRI trade show in Indianapolis, brings the latest in intake manifold design to the competition Chrysler B Series Wedge engines (361-383-400 c.i.d.) operating from 3,500 to 7,500 rpm.

The computer-designed runners easily handle the high airflow requirements demanded by large-displacement, low-deck engines. This extra-tall, single-plane manifold combines a long runner, “line of sight” layout and extended divider walls to maximize torque, power and fuel distribution throughout the mid and upper rpm range.

The manifold’s standard features include a square-bore carburetor opening, added material on the pad and an inside bolt pattern so that it can be easily opened up for Thermo-Quad applications, and nitrous bosses.
