FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORRANCE, Calif. (Mar. 9, 2005) - Ready to rumble? Edelbrock has the muscle with its new manifold for the Ford 351 Cleveland engine. Designed to improve performance on the street, strip or racetrack, the RPM Air-Gap manifold features an open space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil resulting in a cooler, denser charge. The result is high-performance street power from 1,500 to 6,500 RPM. Initial testing showed gains in excess of 15 hp over the current Performer manifold on iron heads.

The Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap design utilizes the same made-in-the-U.S.A. race-winning technology that's been used on Edelbrock's Victor Series competition intakes for many years. The RPM Air-Gap manifold features the award-winning Air-Gap design and standard square-bore carburetor flange.

The RPM Air-Gap manifold for 351 Cleveland (#7564) engines is designed to complement Edelbrock's 351C Performer RPM cylinder heads, and will also work well with stock cast iron 2V or 4V cylinder heads.
