EDELBROCK’S PERFORMER AIR-GAP MANIFOLDS FOR SMALL-BLOCK CHEVY ENGINES: TOP TECHNOLOGY LEADS TO PROVEN PERFORMANCE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE    Click on photo to download high-res image TORRANCE, Calif. (Apr. 16, 2004) – Looking to expand its offerings for small-block Chevy engines, Edelbrock has developed a new version of its Performer Air-Gap manifold for 1987-95 small-block Chevrolet engines with cast iron heads. Edelbrock’s Performer Air-Gap manifold design incorporates the same race-winning technology that’s been used on Edelbrock’s Victor Series competition intakes, and features an open air space for the ultimate street performance in the idle to 5500 rpm range. This air gap separates the runners from the hot engine oil resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power, with high-velocity runners delivering excellent throttle response throughout the power band. The new manifold (#2604) is designed for 1987-95 small block Chevys with cast iron heads with canted center bolt holes (non-EGR), and fits spread-bore or square-bore carburetors. It’s available in standard finished or polished finish.
